Traditional entity setup in Poland can take months and require significant investment. In contrast, EOR solutions allow you to start operating within weeks, minimizing initial costs and administrative burden.

Understanding Employer of
Record Services in Poland
An employer of record solution becomes invaluable when your company faces specific expansion challenges. You might need an EOR when testing new markets before full commitment. Many businesses turn to EOR services when they want to hire talent quickly without establishing a legal entity. This approach is particularly useful for companies expanding into Poland.
International companies often choose an EOR in Poland when they need to hire one or two employees initially. It's also an excellent solution when maintaining compliance with complex local regulations seems daunting. Remote-first companies frequently use EOR solutions to build distributed teams across multiple countries.
Time-sensitive projects particularly benefit from EOR solutions. Setting up a legal entity in Poland can take months. An EOR allows you to start operations within weeks. This speed proves crucial when securing top talent in competitive markets.
Why Choose Poland for Business Expansion?
Poland’s central European location offers exceptional access to both Eastern and Western markets. The country boasts a highly educated workforce proficient in English and other languages, making it ideal for international hiring and remote work arrangements. The Polish economy consistently shows strong growth, supported by advanced infrastructure, political stability, a growing domestic market, and EU membership benefits. Key sectors driving growth include IT, manufacturing, shared services, and renewable energy.
Understanding the Differences: EOR, PEO, and Staffing Agency
EOR vs. PEO
While both employers of record companies and Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) handle employment matters, they operate quite differently. An EOR becomes the legal employer of your workers. They take full responsibility for compliance, payroll, and benefits administration.
A PEO, on the other hand, operates through a co-employment model. Your company must still have a legal entity in Poland to use PEO services. The PEO shares employer responsibilities with your organization. This arrangement offers less protection and more complexity than working with an EOR service provider.
EOR vs. Staffing Agency
A staffing agency primarily focuses on temporary workforce solutions. They help companies find and hire temporary workers for specific projects or seasonal needs. The agency typically employs these workers directly and assigns them to different clients as needed.
In contrast, an international employer of record service enables long-term employment relationships. The EOR becomes the legal employer while you maintain direct day-to-day control over your employees. This arrangement provides greater stability and engagement for your workforce.

What employee benefits are mandatory in Poland?

Can contractors be solicited through the EOR?
Yes, EOR service providers can help manage independent contractors through dedicated contractor management services. However, it’s important to note that contractors aren’t technically employees of the EOR — instead, the EOR helps ensure proper classification, manages contracts, handles payments, and ensures compliance with local regulations regarding contractor relationships. This can be especially valuable when engaging international contractors in Poland to avoid misclassification risks.
