Abstract
In the conditions of economic recession that affects the financial standing of employers, social dialogue instruments that enable them to continue to function are very important. In the Polish labour law system, the main instruments are agreements that suspend the application of the provisions of labour law (Art. 9(1) of the Labour Code), and agreements made to apply conditions of employment that are less favourable than the conditions specified in the contracts of employment (Art. 23 (1a) of the Labour Code). Both these types of agreements have de lege lata the status of labour law sources as defined in Art. 9 (1) of the Labour Code, because they are based on a statutory act, and regulate the rights and obligations of the parties to the labour relationship. In both cases, in their consequences, these agreements limit the financial and social benefits for the employees.
