Yes. Bear in mind that L4 is a paid leave if you have the ZUS ZUA status and have been paying the voluntary sickness insurance contribution by an uninterrupted period of at least 90 days.

According to the new regulations:

1. You are obliged to provide the physician with your address of residence during the temporary inability to work if it differs from the address provided to their informational profile or in your medical documentation. You’re also obliged to inform the payer of your social security contributions and ZUS (the social security authority) about a change of address during the inability to work period, no later than 3 days after its occurrence.  If you fail to fulfill this obligation, ZUS will assume that a notice sent to the address provided in the medical certificate has been delivered.
2. The notification about the date of medical examination (carried out by certifying or consulting physician) or the results of supplementary examinations, in the event of a validity check of the temporary inability to work. These can be delivered by:
   – the post office,
   – a ZUS employee or another authorized person,
   – the employer.

The notice can be delivered in writing, through a phone call or electronic means (that is, your email or your profile on the ZUS website).

In case of an inability to work due to an illness, the payments are equal to 80% of the base sickness benefit.

If the inability to work was caused by a commute incident, an illness during the pregnancy or tuberculosis, the payments are equal to 100% of the base sickness benefit.

The indicated values are used when the internal labor law regulations don’t specify a higher sum.

The base sickness benefit is the average monthly pay for the period of 12 calendar months prior to the occurrence of inability to work as specified in art. 36, pt. 1 of the act on social security payments in the event of illness or motherhood. According to the law, this compensation is calculated based on a basis defined before the first absence. These base benefits are only updated in case of a gap of full three months between the sick leaves.

Generally speaking, the physician should issue the L4 on the day of examination. The exception is situations when they are certain that you couldn’t have been able to work over the past three days. The sick leave can only be granted for up to three days prior to the examination. Issuing sick leaves retroactively for a longer period is only possible in case of mental disorders.

The compensation for your work will be paid out no later than by the end of the next month following the work being carried out and submission of the timesheet.

Contract of commission does not define a particular worktime and thus doesn’t cover the concept of overtime.

No. Gi Group won’t employ underaged people in any way, shape or form. To employ underage workers, one must fulfill a number of legal obligations, such as notifying the National Labor Inspectorate and creating a list of permitted tasks. Due to our inability to verify their fulfillment, we are not employing any underage workers.

A court enforcement officer can take:

• under recovery of maintenance claims for children – up to 3/5 of your earnings
• under recovery of other claims – up to half of your earnings; in such an event the current minimal wage (after deduction of social security and income tax payments) forms a sum cleared from any further deductions.

The claim recovery rules for temporary work agreements are the same as for other agreements under the labor law. Upon receiving a notice from a court enforcement officer, the employer is obligated to provide them with a part of your salary covered by the recovery proceedings.

Such a notice is sent to both employer and employee. If you fail to receive it, or it hasn’t been delivered for any other reason, it won’t stop the recovery proceedings – the employer will be obliged to hand over the money regardless of your agreement to it.

If for some reason you didn’t receive such a notice and don’t know why the money was taken from you, contact our consultant who will check the address information of the court enforcement officer and your case number. This will allow you to contact the enforcement officer yourself.
