Labour law for companies, advisory, documents and inspection support
Labour law for companies is practical support in hiring, dismissing and creating documents compliant with the Labour Code. We advise on contracts, regulations and National Labour Inspectorate (PIP) inspections, so that your HR decisions are safe and resistant to disputes.
What we help with
Labour law advisory at E&P Service is support in everyday HR decisions. We explain the regulations in practical language and prepare documents that protect the company in the event of an inspection or dispute.
- Choosing the form of employment and drafting contracts.
- Work regulations and remuneration regulations.
- Termination notices, terminations and dismissal procedures.
- Preparation for National Labour Inspectorate (PIP) inspections.
- GDPR in employment and employee monitoring.
Notice periods for an employment contract
The most common mistakes concern the length of the notice period. It depends on length of service with the given employer (art. 36 of the Labour Code):
| Length of service with the employer | Notice period |
|---|---|
| Less than 6 months | 2 weeks. |
| At least 6 months | 1 month. |
| At least 3 years | 3 months. |
Why it is worth using advisory
Incorrect grounds for dismissal, faulty regulations or hiring under a mandate contract in the conditions of an employment relationship are a real risk: employee claims, additional ZUS contribution payments and penalties during an inspection. Advisory in advance is cheaper than fixing the consequences.

Frequently asked questions about labour law
What does labour law advisory help with?
Labour law advisory helps to hire and dismiss employees correctly, draft contracts and regulations, apply the right termination notice periods and avoid mistakes that end in a court dispute or a penalty during a National Labour Inspectorate (PIP) inspection. It is operational support for everyday HR decisions.
What internal documents do you prepare?
We prepare and review employment and civil-law contracts, work regulations, remuneration regulations, procedures and scopes of duties, and employment-related documents compliant with the current Labour Code.
What are the notice periods for an employment contract?
The notice period for an employment contract depends on length of service with the given employer: 2 weeks for service of less than 6 months, 1 month for service of at least 6 months, and 3 months for service of at least 3 years (art. 36 of the Labour Code).
Do you assist with National Labour Inspectorate inspections?
Yes. We prepare documentation for National Labour Inspectorate (PIP) inspections, point out areas of risk, help prepare responses to demands and orders, and implement the inspector's recommendations to avoid repeated shortcomings.
Does the advisory cover GDPR in employment?
Yes. We advise on the processing of personal data of employees and candidates, the scope of data an employer may request, information clauses and workplace monitoring in accordance with GDPR and the Labour Code.
When a mandate contract and when an employment contract?
If the work is performed at a specified place and time under the employer's direction, an employment contract should be concluded. Hiring under a mandate contract in conditions typical of an employment relationship risks being challenged by the National Labour Inspectorate (PIP) and ZUS. We help choose the right form.
Do you assist with dismissals and disputes with employees?
Yes. We advise on terminating contracts, from choosing the mode and grounds, through the content of the termination notice, to correct settlement. We help reduce the risk of claims for reinstatement or compensation.
Do you update documents after changes in regulations?
Yes. We monitor changes in the Labour Code and related employment regulations and update regulations, contract templates and procedures so that the company's documentation remains compliant with the applicable law.
