The employment relationship model and a draft of the Labour Code from 2018

---

Summary/Abstract: Background: Research perspectives adopted in Polish and European labour law science regarding the employment relationship model (a model of rendering work [under employment relationship]). Research purpose: To determine the desired perspectives for formulating the employment relationship model and to compare them with the proposal to change the employment relationship model contained in the draft of the Polish Labour Code from 2018. Methods: The Author uses a mixed method, taking into account, in addition to the formal and dogmatic method, the following methods: comparative; philosophical and anthropological. Conclusions: The Author indicates what – in her opinion – should be perspectives for formulating proposals for changes in the employment relationship model in Polish labour law. She believes that a holistic perspective should be adopted that takes into account mainly human rights (social rights), anthropological conditions, moral values, factors resulting from economic processes, as well as normative regulations of the economic system in the national, European and global dimensions. She postulates that none of these perspectives be dominant or excessively dominant, and that a balanced approach is needed. The desired model of employment relationship should also not abstract from new forms of control or new (also technological) tools for an employer to subordinate the employee. It is also necessary to leave people the choice of whether and to what extent they want to be subordinated to the employer. Taking this into account, the Author refers to selected elements of the employment relationship model that have emerged from the proposals contained in the draft of the Polish Labour Code from 2018. She imputes to the draft designers that they place at the center of the employment relationship model human rights related to paid employment, including the absolute right to work. At the same time, the authors of the project have not explained in what sense they use the very concept of human rights (from which legal act they derive its definition) and at the same time make it the central concept in the regulation of the hierarchy of sources of labour law. According to the Author, the project also creates an “anti-libertarian” model of employment relationship.
