We recently wrote about the main assumptions of the Act of 24 July 2024 on Amendments to the Act on Vocational and Social Rehabilitation and Employment of Persons with Disabilities. The new Act was published in the Journal of Laws on 2 August 2024 and came into force on the next day.

Under the new legislation, persons whose certificates are due to expire on 30 September 2024 will maintain their disabled status until 31 March 2025. It should be noted that employees with a significant or moderate degree of disability are entitled to a shortened working day or additional leave, so the change may also be of interest to employers of persons with disabilities.
