“Blajer says Business” interview: Counting business activity towards employment seniority

Addressing the issue is crucial, but the proposed solution is concerning because it takes us further down the path that should be avoided – blurring the lines between employment contracts, service contracts, and self-employment. Our goal should be to ensure that employers and workers choose the right type of contrancts based on the actual nature of their work, in line with legal requirements. Unfortunately, the proposed changes would make these three very different types of arrangements look even more alike in everyday business practice, when, in fact, we should be working to clearly distinguish between them. While this approach may help fix some unfairness in the short term, over time it could make it harder to improve the overall system for workers in a meaningful and sustainable way. – Marcin Sanetra discusses with Paweł Blajer for BIZNES24.
