Frequently asked questions
What is an Employer of Record in Poland?
An Employer of Record legally employs people on your behalf. Bizky signs the Polish employment contract, pays salaries, ZUS contributions and taxes, while you manage the employee’s daily work.
How much does EOR in Poland cost?
Bizky’s fee starts at €299 per employee per month. On top you pay the employee’s employer cost: gross salary plus about 20–22% employer ZUS and 1.5% PPK. A refundable deposit applies — see Pricing & deposit above.
Why is there a deposit and when is it returned?
As the legal employer, Bizky is liable for salaries, ZUS and taxes. The deposit of [X] secures those payments and is returned in full within [X] days after the final payroll.
Is EOR safer than hiring a Polish developer on B2B?
Yes, when the work looks like employment — fixed hours, your supervision, a set place of work. Polish authorities can reclassify such a B2B contract as employment, with back taxes and contributions. With EOR the person has a proper employment contract and Bizky carries the liability.
Do I need a Polish company to hire through Bizky?
No. With Employer of Record you need no entity in Poland. EU companies that prefer to be the employer themselves can use our Non-Residential Employer service.
How long does onboarding take?
About 5 business days from the moment we receive the candidate’s details.
Who will I be working with?
A named account manager backed by our in-house Polish employment lawyers and payroll team — reachable by phone and email, not only through a ticket system.
