Summary/Abstract: The goal of this article is to determine, which norms of labor law should be applied to the employment contract of definite duration with a scholar in a regard to the permissible amount of concluded contracts and their duration.The author analyses the influence of Polish Labor Code (PLC) amendment from 16 December 2016 in scope of provisions regulating definite duration employment contracts. For the purpose of this article, relevant provisions of Act on the Higher Education are analyzed, in particular art. 118a. In conclusion, art. 25 and following of PLC should be applied to the employment contracts of definite duration concluded with scholars. Although such contracts may be concluded for duration longer than 33 months, conditions set forth by art. 251 § 4 PLC must be therefore fulfilled.
