Poland: Digital Platform Work Bill (UC160)
PolandLegislationProposed
Poland’s draft Act on Performing Work via Digital Employment Platforms (project UC160) is a proposed national law implementing Directive (EU) 2024/2831 on platform work. Member States must transpose the directive by 2 December 2026. The draft would apply to digital employment platforms, intermediaries and people who perform work through platforms in Poland. It would require platforms to provide information about automated monitoring and decision-making systems, address these systems in information and consultation processes, and regularly assess their impact. It would also reserve decisions such as contract termination and account suspension to humans, and require explanations and review of automated decisions. It would restrict processing of certain personal data, ban systems that put undue pressure on workers, and protect people who exercise their rights. The source states the draft does not go beyond the directive and proposes fines of PLN 2,000 to PLN 60,000.
