The Sejm of the Republic of Poland has enacted amendments to the Act on Cash Benefits from Social Insurance in Case of Illness and Maternity, published in the Polish Official Journal (Dziennik Ustaw) as position 441 of 2026. The amendment modifies provisions governing sickness benefits, maternity benefits, or related employer contribution obligations under the mandatory ZUS social insurance scheme.

Employers and payroll administrators should review the revised statutory provisions to determine how the amendments affect benefit entitlement calculations, contribution rates, or employer reporting obligations. Companies should update payroll systems and internal procedures accordingly to ensure compliance with the new requirements.
