Production and industry Academy for Production. Law | Taxes | Accounting - February meeting is behind us

Challenges for Management Boards of Production Companies in Relations with Parent Companies – Webinar Summary

Another meeting in the " Academy for Production. Law | Taxes | Accounting" series is behind us! The event took place o n February 27, 2025.

This time, we focused on the topic: "Challenges for Management Boards of Production Companies in Relations with Parent Companies."

What did we discuss during the webinar?

Together with the participants, we addressed the question of the position of the management board in relation to the parent company and whether the parent company can issue binding instructions to the management board.

We identified the most common practical situations in which a parent company may attempt to "force" the management board to make decisions that are not optimal from the subsidiary's perspective.

We discussed whether there are ways for the management board to react in such situations.

Furthermore, we addressed the question of whether the management board is protected when following the instructions of the parent company (after all, they are merely executing an order).

Thank you for joining us!

We would like to thank all participants for attending the webinar.

What’s next?

The " Academy for Production " series continues! In the coming months, we have prepared more topics to help you better understand changing regulations and make managing production companies easier.

We remind you that this series is organized under the patronage of the Kamienna Góra Special Economic Zone for Small Business and the Polish-German Business Circle in Poznań.

See you at the next session!

Paid “Leave” in B2B and a Tip-Off to ZUS. What Do the First Decisions of the Chief Labour Inspector Teach Us?

Since July 2026, businesses have been able to apply for binding interpretations from the National Labour Inspectorate (PIP) regarding the classification of civil law contracts and B2B arrangements. Although the first decisions of the Chief Labour Inspector (GIP) show a surprisingly flexible approach to benefits or hybrid working, some warn that they carry a background risk of audits by the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) and tax authorities.
