19:43
The length of working time in Poland is shortening. noted the Polish Economic Institute (PIE). Back in 2000, the average working week in Poland was almost 42 hours, in the next eighteen years it shortened to about 39.5 hours.
PIE analysts also pointed to changes in work forms. “Technological development, especially in the area of information and communication, enabled work remotely. There was a breakthrough in the area of employer-employee relations, which gave space for completely new, more flexible forms of employment as well as an exchange of services and content,” we read in the latest issue of Tygodnik Gospodarczy PIE.
PIE experts emphasize, that a growing interest in flexible work forms is not supported by the legal environment, especially the restrictions caused by the restrictive Labor Code.
