Earlier Recognition of Contract Periods for Work Experience. Is It Possible?

A new legal amendment in Poland will allow recognition of contract work periods towards work experience for public sector employees starting January 2026 and for the private sector from May 2026.

In Poland, the concept of work experience plays a crucial role in determining various employee rights, including vacation entitlements and access to benefits related to employment. The duration of work experience is essential for obtaining certain privileges such as quicker access to jubilee awards and eligibility for positions that require verified professional experience. However, the traditional employment models are evolving with the prevalence of contracts that do not contribute to the official work experience, like B2B contracts and task agreements.
