UoP vs B2B decision checklist

In Poland, the choice between umowa o pracę (UoP) and B2B affects more than your monthly take-home pay. Taxes, social security, paid time off, sick leave, notice period, benefits and financial risk can all differ.

This checklist helps you compare the two options for your own situation. Work through it for each offer, fill in the side-by-side table, and bring the list of questions to your next conversation with the employer.

Best for candidates in Poland holding an offer where the contract type is open to discussion. It is a practical tool, not tax or legal advice.

What's inside

  • A step-by-step money comparison, including costs people forget
  • Sections on paid time off, sick leave and notice periods
  • A benefits grid and an administration check
  • Questions about how the work really looks, such as exclusivity and working hours
  • A side-by-side comparison table and questions to ask the employer
  • A final decision checklist to use before signing

Frequently asked questions

Is B2B or UoP better in Poland?
It depends. B2B usually leaves more money on hand. UoP gives paid leave, sick pay and stronger job protection. Compare the full package, not just the net amount.
How much more should a B2B offer pay than UoP?
Enough to cover unpaid holiday and sick days, ZUS, accounting and the extra risk. Check the numbers with our net salary calculator.
