A foreign worker compliance audit compares the worker’s basis for staying in Poland, their right to work and their actual working conditions. Start with people who are already working and whose files do not establish their current right to work.
What records should you collect?
Gather residence documents, evidence of the right to work or the applicable exemption, contracts, amendments and proof of required filings. Record the actual start date and working conditions. Check that the documents refer to the same employer and period.
How do you spot a mismatch?
Compare the employer, role or type of work, hours and pay against any document that sets those conditions. Suppose an employee moves from the warehouse to production and the file still describes their former duties. Record when the move happened and check whether the applicable procedure requires action.
Which issues come first?
Prioritise active cases with unconfirmed authorisation or mismatched conditions. Then review upcoming dates and gaps in the archive. Give each action an owner and record what will count as evidence of completion. Keep filing receipts separate from decisions.
Is a residence card enough?
Check the decision and the basis for working as well. The expiry date on the card concerns the residence document. Work conditions can be set by other documents or rules.
