• Background: Legislative changes introduced at the turn of 2006/2007, which resulted in the sanctioning of a simplified employment procedure of foreigners, constituted a breakthrough in the process of liberalizing the access of economic immigrants to the labour market of Poland. Possibilities of employing a foreigner based on the employer’s statement on the intention to entrust a job to foreigner are often attributed to having a positive impact on the functioning of the labour market, as it involves transferring some of the short-term employment of economic migrants from the gray zone to legal employment. The possibility of using this procedure to legalize entry of foreigners into Poland proved to be the cause of numerous cases of abuse. The subject of the research is the changes in the rules of the short-term employment of foreigners in Poland and their socio-economic consequences; the results are presented in this paper. Research purpose: The aim of this study is to discuss and assess the main changes in the rules of entrusting short-term employment to foreigners that have been in force since 2018. Methods: The study presents the results of the analysis of the content of legal acts. Furthermore, the data aggregated by the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy, characterizing the scale of demand for short-term work of foreigners, are presented and interpreted. Conclusions: It should be emphasized that the introduction of a new type of work permit for a foreigner (S-type work permission) and the correction of the so-called simplified procedure are actions that should positively affect the accuracy of measuring the scale of the phenomenon, the level of control over this type of employment, as well as the activity of foreigners coming to Poland in order to provide seasonal work. There is a concern that the lack of possibility to apply the simplified procedure in some sections of the Polish Classification of Activities may, however, contribute to the undesirable increase in the scale of illegal employment of foreigners in seasonal work.
