Employment contract (umowa o pracę) translation
Sworn translation of an employment contract for a residence card, ZUS and employer: parties, role, pay, term. Not an employment book and not a short earnings certificate.
An employment contract sets the terms of a specific job. For a work-based residence card UW often asks for a sworn translation. Volume follows pages and annexes.
Umowa o pracę translation for UW and HR packs
What do we translate in the contract?
The full text plus annexes that are referenced.Parties, role, workplace, pay, term, signatures. If there is an aneks — usually in the pack too.
Umowa o pracę vs zlecenie / dzieło
Different types — we translate the form you have.Contract-type names are kept with an explanation. For UW it matters which type is in your pack.
Does not replace an income certificate
Contract = terms; certificate = pay facts for a period.UW often asks for both the contract and zaświadczenie o zarobkach — two separate translations.
Confidential amounts
We translate as in the original.We do not remove salary from the text if it is in the contract — otherwise the translation is incomplete for the office.
Scan of all pages
Including signatures and stamps.Without the last signed page UW usually will not accept the translation as complete.
Apostille
Rare for Polish UW.A sworn translation is enough unless the office wrote otherwise.
Languages for employment contract translation
We work both ways: a foreign document into Polish for offices in Poland, a Polish document into the destination-country language.
Documents from Ukraine for offices in Poland — the most common pair.
Soviet-era documents and those issued in Russia and Belarus.
Documents from the UK, Ireland, the USA, India and the UAE.
Polish documents for Ukrainian offices — certificates, extracts, rulings.
For foreign employers, universities and consulates.
For offices and banks in countries that require Russian.
Three types of translation — and when you need each
If the document goes to a public office — you need a sworn translation. Prices below are for Ukrainian, Russian and English; other languages are quoted separately.

Who already ordered
All reviewsI sent a photo in the evening, had a PDF by morning, and the paper copy in Wrocław two days later. Urząd Wojewódzki accepted it without questions.
They asked to match the name spelling to the passport — I would not have thought of it. That is why the pack was accepted first time.
The amount quoted on Telegram did not change. Good when there are no “extra pages” at the end.
