Elżbieta Ulatowska, lawyer and owner of the E&P Service HR & payroll office in Poznań
Behind E&P Service stands a person, not an anonymous department. I am a lawyer and have worked in HR administration, payroll and labour law since 2002, and I have run my own office in Poznań since June 2013. I combine knowledge of the regulations with a practical, human approach to every company and its employees.
My experience
My name is Elżbieta Ulatowska and I am a lawyer. I have worked in HR administration, payroll and labour law since 2002, first in a tax advisory office, and then in the HR department of a large manufacturing company, where I got to know HR and payroll from the perspective of an employer with dozens of staff.
I have run my own office, E&P Service, since June 2013. Day to day I handle what for many entrepreneurs is the most tedious and risky part: employee documentation, salary calculation and settlements with ZUS and the tax office. A legal education lets me read regulations with an understanding of context, not just literally, which in labour law can be the difference between a correct and a flawed document.
How I work
I focus on direct contact and clear communication. With me you do not reach a call centre, you talk to a person who knows your company and handles its affairs. I explain regulations in plain language and warn you about deadlines before they become a problem.
- One responsible person, permanent contact, with no rotation of account managers and no handing over of matters.
- Timeliness, I keep track of payday dates (art. 85 of the Labour Code), ZUS contributions and PIT filings.
- Reliability, documentation and settlements compliant with the current Labour Code.
- Confidentiality, I process HR and payroll data in line with GDPR, under a data processing agreement.
Cooperation with specialists
I do not pretend that one person knows everything. That is why, in more complex matters, I work as part of a team: in employee disputes and the interpretation of regulations I am supported by legal counsel (including representation before the labour court), I handle the area of workplace safety with an OHS specialist, and I align the company's settlements with accountants. As a result, the employer gets a consistent picture of their obligations, HR, payroll, tax and OHS, in one place.
Who I work for
I work with micro, small and medium-sized companies from Poznań and the surrounding area, across various industries: services, retail, manufacturing, construction and transport. Some clients entrust me with full payroll and HR services, others choose specific areas, such as payroll, HR administration or ZUS and PIT settlements. I also advise on matters within the scope of labour law.
If you are looking for someone to take over your company's HR and payroll and treat them with due diligence, I will be glad to learn about your needs and prepare an offer.

Why is it worth entrusting payroll and HR services to a lawyer?
HR and payroll is a YMYL area, an error in files, contributions or deadlines can cost a company interest or sanctions from the National Labour Inspectorate (PIP) and ZUS. Having the office run by a lawyer means that documentation and settlements are prepared with current provisions of the Labour Code in mind, and difficult employee matters are resolved with the support of legal counsel.
