The Voivodeship Office, when issuing a temporary residence and work permit, is most often guided by the period for which the employer wants to entrust the foreigner with the performance of work, indicated in Appendix 1. It is worth emphasising that the date indicated in this appendix in no way obliges the employer to employ an employee for this period – e.g. up to 3 years. It is only the planned period of entrusting the work. In a situation where, for some reason, the employment relationship or a civil law contract is terminated, the foreigner who has obtained a temporary residence and work permit on this basis is obliged to inform the competent Voivodeship Office within 15 working days about the loss of work from this employer (or any of the employers indicated in this permit). The Voivodeship Office may also rely on the term of the employment contract/civil law contract presented by the foreigner.
