Citizens of Ukraine can be employed on the basis of an employment contract and a contract of mandate. A person from Ukraine does not need any special documentsów than documents for a new employee whoóry a Polish citizen. The Border Guard stamp is the title that entitles you to stay and work. The lack of a stamp means that the entry of a person from Ukraine has not been registered and then this must be done already on Polish territory. This is done by assigning a PESEL number. Currently, PESEL numbers are assigned to Ukrainians in an efficient manner, which facilitates all further formalities.

Employers have 14 days from the moment of employment to notify the district labor office with jurisdiction over the employer's headquarters. The documents needed for an employment contract and a contract of mandate are a passport and a PESEL number, for the issuance of which Ukrainian citizens have 60 days from entry into Poland.

It should therefore be drawn up in a language that the employee understands. From then on, the employer has 7 days to report the employee to the Social Security Administration to ensure that the employee has the necessary benefits and the possibility of free health care.
