Summary

Poland has a well-developed social security system that covers the risks of employees, self-employed persons, and their family members. Poland has two special insurance schemes-
  • The Social Insurance Institution (Zakład Ubezpieczeń Społecznych; ZUS) was established on October 24, 1934.
  • The Agricultural Social Insurance Fund (Kasa Rolniczego Ubezpieczenia Społecznego; KRUS).
The ZUS is the Polish state organization responsible for the social insurance benefits of employees and the KRUS is the Polish social insurance fund that provides benefits to farmers. The ZUS is supervised by the Ministry of Family and Social Policy (MRiPS) and is responsible for sickness and maternity cash benefits, as well as pensions for retirement, invalidity, survivors, accidents at work, and occupational diseases.

The ZUS is also responsible for the collection of social insurance and health insurance contributions, as well as contributions to the Labor Fund (Fundusz Pracy) and the Guaranteed Employee Benefits Fund (Fundusz Gwarantowanych Świadczeń Pracowniczych). The pension system in Poland was reformed in 1999 and replaced the pay-as-you-go (PAYG) retirement system with a three-pillar retirement system, comprising Pension Institutions, Open Pension Funds, and Voluntary Occupational Pensions.

Key Highlights
  • The Polish Social Insurance Institute (ZUS), Open Pension Funds, Social Welfare Institutions, and National Health Fund (NFZ) are responsible for the functioning of the overall social security system.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
