Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2011, published 101st ILC session (2012)

Equality of Treatment (Accident Compensation) Convention, 1925 (No. 19) - Poland (Ratification: 1928)

The Committee notes the Government’s reply to its previous request for information on the relevant legislative and regulatory provisions, and for the statistical data on the number and nationality of foreign workers insured by the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS). It further notes that ZUS has no statistical data on accidents and compensations in this group of insured persons. The Committee invites the Government to ask ZUS to explain its procedures and recordkeeping relating to the payment of compensation for industrial accidents in case of residence outside the European Union with regard to: (i) national workers and their dependants; and (ii) foreign workers who are nationals of a country which has ratified this Convention and their dependants.
