‘Polish Anti-crisis Shield’: from the employers’ perspective – Sobczyk & Partners Law Firm Webinar

Date: Tuesday, March 31, 2020 at 2:00 p.m.

In relation to the negative economic impact of the announcement of the epidemic state in Poland and the restrictions applied, a package of new legal regulations for entrepreneurs, the so-called ‘Anti-crisis Shield’, will be introduced.

The solutions included in the package concern, among others:
• economic stoppages (i.e. periods when work is not expected from employees),
• short-time work solutions (i.e. extraordinary measures allowing for the reduction of working hours),
• co-financing of employee remunerations by the State.

We would like to discuss new regulations during an online meeting, taking into account the employer’s perspective. We invite you to participate in a free online meeting which will be conducted in English.
