The Sejm abolishes the obligation to store paper notifications to the Social Insurance Institution (“ZUS”)

The Sejm passed an amendment to the Social Insurance System Act that had been prepared by the Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Policy. The amendment repeals article 36(8) which had had imposed an obligation on contribution payers to store for five years paper notifications to ZUS that were signed in person by persons being reported,  even if the notifications were submitted electronically.

The change is part of a broader deregulation meant to simply the administrative obligations of business persons.

The bill has been sent to the Senate where the legislative process will continue.
