There are 13 statutory public holidays in 2022.

Because some holidays fall on Saturdays, employers must give employees another day off under the Act of 18 January 1951 on public holidays and the Labour Code Act of 26 June 1974. In 2021 this applied to 1 May and 25 December.

In 2022, holidays falling on weekends are New Year's Day (1 January, Saturday), Labour Day (1 May, Sunday), Pentecost (5 June, Sunday), and Christmas Day (25 December, Sunday). However, we can expect an alternative day off from the employer only for 1 January.

ZUS contributions in 2026 — a complete guide for entrepreneurs
At the start of every year, contributions to the Social Insurance Institution change, and ZUS charges in 2026 are higher than twelve months earlier. Two changes contributed: a higher assessment base and a return to calculating the minimum health insurance contribution from 100% of the minimum wage. Consequently, most entrepreneurs face clearly higher fixed expenses this year. This guide gathers current amounts, thresholds and deadlines to help plan the business budget for the whole year. It also explains how much ZUS costs for a business under full contributions and how available reliefs work.

If, in these circumstances, a person receives remuneration both from employment and from running a business in the same month, multiple grounds for insurance arise. What happens to ZUS contributions in this case? We answer this question in this article.

Which clauses require particular care when signing a B2B contract? How can you protect your interests?
Micro, small and medium-sized enterprises represent the overwhelming majority of businesses operating in Poland and generate the lion’s share of domestic jobs. Yet these companies often face the greatest business risks, frequently depending on much larger entities. Such risks may lie not only in daily operations, but also in B2B contracts, whose clauses often cause future legal and financial problems. This particularly concerns contracts with an imbalance between the parties. In this article, we answer “Which clauses require particular care when signing a B2B contract?” and identify ways to protect your interests in B2B cooperation.
