Summary/Abstract: An analysis of the amendments to the Act is focused on the introduction to the Polish labour law of a prohibition against issuing promissory notes, a declaration of submission to enforcement procedure and acknowledgment of debt as means to secure the claims of the employer against an employee arising from the employment relationship. The author gives a positive opinion on the general direction of changes proposed in the bill, due especially to the need to achieve axiological coherence of the legal system. However, he calls into question the relevance of the choice of instruments to be used for this purpose, According to the author, particularly, the acceptance of the effect in the form of invalidity of a promissory note issued by an employee to secure future claims of the employer would constitute a breach of the Convention, binding the Republic of Poland, providing a Uniform Law for Bills of Exchange and Promissory Notes.
