During economic slowdowns or when cutting costs and personnel is necessary, external employment models become more attractive due to their flexibility compared to traditional employment structures. Utilising staffing agencies, secondments or outsourcing has become a regular part of organisational realities. These employment forms can provide an economic advantage, but require professional support in order to minimise the potential risks involved.

For our clients, we:

• Review agreements with outsourcing providers and temporary employment agencies for legal compliance and business alignment.
• Develop strategies for implementing new employment models.
• Draft outsourcing agreements, service contracts and agreements with temporary employment agencies, along with other documentation concerning the use of external workforce.
• Provide ongoing advisory services during collaborations with temporary employment agencies or outsourcing service providers.
• Offer comprehensive litigation support in the event of court disputes.
• Represent clients in administrative proceedings regarding the registration or deregistration of temporary employment agencies.
• Advise temporary employment agencies on all aspects of their activities, including employee assignments abroad, in close cooperation with the Immigration and Global Mobility Team.

Recent Projects:

• Advised a client entering the Polish market on structuring employment models (selecting optimal forms of employment) and developed internal employment documentation.
• Supported a technology sector client in an employee-outsourcing project, preparing contracts that addressed the tax and labour law risks.
• Advised a client starting a collaboration with a temporary employment agency by preparing recommendations and necessary documentation.
• Represented a client in numerous court disputes with the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS), which challenged a cooperation model (a „contract triangle”), demanding the calculation and payment of social insurance contributions on all remuneration paid.
