City or metropolitan area

Warehouses and factories are often near motorways outside the centre. Request the entrance address, bus pickup point, schedule, cost and travel rules. Check the route for morning, evening and night shifts. Commuting time and cost affect the real value of an offer.

How to compare pay in 2026

Check gross or net pay, guaranteed hours, nights, overtime, weekends, downtime and deductions. From 1 January 2026, the minimum full-time salary under umowa o pracę is PLN 4,806 gross per month, while the minimum rate for civil contracts covered by law is PLN 31.40 gross per hour. These are statutory minimums, not guaranteed earnings; see the PSZ portal.

Schedules and physical conditions

Shift work is common in warehouses and factories, while services and events may require weekends and holidays. Ask about shift length, breaks, rotation, targets and extra hours. Check temperature, noise, standing work, load weights, scanners, workwear and training.

Contracts and protection

Umowa o pracę and umowa zlecenie provide different rules for working time, leave, sick pay and insurance. The contract must be in writing before work begins; before signature, the employer must provide a foreign worker with a version they understand. Verify the site, role, rate, schedule, payment, term and deductions.

Documents for foreign workers

Legal employment requires lawful residence and the appropriate right to work. Depending on nationality and status, this may involve a permit, registered declaration, employer notification or statutory exemption. Check requirements at praca.gov.pl and compare them with employer documents.

Accommodation and total cost

If an agency or employer arranges accommodation, request the address, photographs, occupancy, full price, deposit and refund rules. Confirm deductions for rent, utilities and transport. Cheap housing far from the workplace may mean a long commute.

Is Polish required?

Some entry-level roles require only safety instructions, scanner labels and basic commands. Polish is more often needed in retail, catering, hotels, offices, quality control and customer service. International services may require English or another language. Technical work may require licences.

Checking an employer or agency

Request the legal name, NIP or KRS and verify registers. Find an agency on the KRAZ page. Do not hand over your original passport or work without a contract. Every charge must have a lawful and documented purpose. Check rules on the PIP website.
