Employee Capital Plans (PPK) 

PPK is a voluntary retirement savings scheme launched by the Polish government in 2019. It is designed to supplement the public pension system (ZUS) by encouraging both employees and employers to contribute to a private retirement fund. 

PPK applies to most employers in Poland, and enrollment is automatic for employees under the age of 55, although participation can be opted out of. 

Easybooks sets up and manages your company’s PPK obligations — from employee enrollment and provider coordination to contribution handling and regulatory reporting — helping you stay compliant while supporting your team’s long-term financial security.
