Running an employment agency and arrears in social security contributions

Running an employment agency involves many obligations, including paying attention to paying no arrears with fees for social security contributions, health insurance, the Labor Fund, as well as the Guaranteed Employee Benefits Fund and the Bridging Pensions Fund.

Clients of PRWT accounting office  ask what are the consequences in the event of arrears in the above-mentioned payments contributions?

First of all, it should be remembered that Labor Offices control compliance with the terms of employment of employment agencies and have access to quarterly information from the ICT system of the Social Insurance Institution regarding possible arrears in paying contributions by the employment agency.

If any irregularities in the payment of contributions are detected, the Labour Offices calls the employment agency to settle the arrears and provide a certificate from ZUS confirming payment of contributions or submit an application submitted to ZUS for deferment of payment.

Fulfilling the described obligation is very important, because in the event that the employment agency does not provide the certificate or application referred to above, the Labor Office initiates proceedings to issue a decision prohibiting the entity from carrying out the activity covered by the entry in the register of employment agencies.
