Our Warsaw-based lawyers, Marta Stanisławska (Counsel, Finance & Financial Regulation group) and Michał Olszewski (Counsel, International Employment group), have co-authored the Poland chapter of the new practical guide on employment regulations for financial services, published by International Employment Lawyer.
This comprehensive resource outlines both general labour law requirements and more specialised rules for risk management, remuneration, and compliance, highlighting the interplay between EU directives, Polish law, and guidance issued by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority.
The publication explores crucial areas such as pre-screening requirements, training obligations, and variable pay structures, emphasising the importance of balancing organisational goals with robust internal controls. Its accessible Q&A format enables employers and employees to navigate evolving legislation while aligning policies with EU and domestic regulations, making it an ideal starting point for entities operating globally in Poland’s dynamic financial services landscape.
Key topics covered:
- Regulatory overview
- Employee engagement
- Remuneration and training requirements
- Culture and conduct
- Terminations and restrictive covenants
The guide also includes a comparative Q&A section covering 25 jurisdictions, offering an invaluable resource for multinational financial institutions navigating employment challenges in multiple countries.
If your organisation operates in Poland’s financial services sector or across multiple jurisdictions, staying compliant with evolving employment regulations is essential. Our International Employment law experts are here to guide you through this complex regulatory landscape.

“There is no single set of rules that applies to all employees and employers in financial services. Employment is governed by the general rules of civil and labour law, primarily the Labour Code.”
