Background information

In Line with the Financial Shield 6.0 scheme, from 15 January onwards, persons performing civil law contracts (e.g. commission, work) gained the right to a one-time additional work stoppage allowance. These are contracts concluded until 15 December 2020. Creators, artists, technicians supporting culture, architects and persons who provide services to museums (within the scope of extracurricular forms of education and museum guides) will benefit from the work stoppage allowance.

Content of measure

In order to claim the stoppage allowance, those belonging to the target group have to meet specific conditions. Income from a civil law contract in the month before the one in which the application for a one-time additional work stoppage allowance is submitted cannot exceed 300 per cent of the average monthly remuneration from the previous quarter. The amount of the benefit is PLN 2080 (some €460). However, if the sum of income from civil law contracts in the month preceding the month in which the application is submitted is up to PLN 1299.99 (approximately €290), social security will pay the benefit only in the amount of the actually reported income.
