This law provides critical guidelines on the scope of applicability, internal reporting procedures, and penalties for retaliation. It extends protections to various work relationships and emphasizes data protection and criminal liabilities for non-compliance

Approximately 3 years following the mandated implementation date of Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of whistleblowers, which was to be incorporated into the Polish legal system by December 17, 2021, this legislative gap has now been addressed. On June 19, 2024, the President signed the whistleblower bill, which was passed on May 23, 2024. The legislation includes amendments from the Senate, notably excluding labour law from the range of potential notifications.
