NLI Report 2025: The State of Occupational Safety and Labor Law in Poland

The document summarizes the activities of the National Labour Inspectorate (PIP) in 2025. It highlights where workers' rights are most frequently violated and where accidents occur. The report shows tangible results of inspections, such as the recovery of over PLN 158 million in overdue wages for 48,500 employees.
Key points
Workplace Accidents: Inspectors investigated 1,918 accidents, resulting in 203 fatalities and 649 serious injuries. The most dangerous sectors are construction and manufacturing.
Recovered Payments: Thanks to PIP interventions, employees recovered a total of over PLN 158 million in overdue wages and other benefits.
Working Time and Civil Law Contracts: Massive violations were found in working time records (in 47% of inspected companies) and in the misuse of civil law contracts instead of employment contracts.
New PIP Powers: The Inspectorate is preparing to issue decisions converting irregular civil law contracts into employment contracts, which is intended to increase worker protection.
Legality of Foreigners' Employment: Illegal work was found among 19.8% of inspected foreigners, mainly due to the lack of required work permits.
