The principal act regulating Polish labor law is the Labor Code. However, under the Rome
Convention on the law applicable to the contractual obligations, it is possible to subject an
employment contract with a Polish citizen to foreign law. In this case however, the employee
will be protected by respective, imperative (absolute) provision of law of this country, where
this employer performs work on a regular basis. All employment contract (governed by Polish
law or subject to Polish law under the Rome Convention) conditions should conform to the
provisions of this Labor Code. Contractual terms unfavorable to employees are automatically
replaced by corresponding provisions of the Labor Code.
