Summary/Abstract: The present elaboration is dedicated to the analysis of labour market transformation since the codification of Polish labour law to the present day. Author emphasizes that the legal form of paid activity determines the legal status of the person concerned, both with relation to stability of employment and social security protection. Under centrally planned economy, the employment contract for an indefinite duration constituted the basic form of paid activity. Currently, however, various forms of work performance co-exist, many of them remain outside the scope of labour law. Author indicates deep segmentation of current labor market. He also pays attention to the fact that paid work quite often ensures neither life stability nor proper social protection.
