This purpose is to be served by implementing three solutions:
- the posted worker’s remuneration must be at the level applicable in the host country;
- the posting period may not be longer than 12 months;
- additional control powers for national administrations.
As at 4 August 2020, Poland is late with implementing these changes. The national implementing legislation is currently being processed in the Senate (having been enacted by the Sejm).
A large portion of EU countries has already implemented the new law. Experts note that this implementation varies hugely across the countries. Practically, thus, different EU countries may follow different practices as regards posted workers. Local pay rules will have to be carefully identified. At the same time, vigorous inquiries should be expected from the authorities even though strict control had been exercised in many countries already before. This is compounded by the unresolved issue of short business trips and A1 applications.
