What are delegations?
Driver delegation refers to the formal assignment of a driver to perform work duties outside their regular workplace (e.g. company office, depot, or warehouse). This often involves traveling domestically or abroad and requires proper time tracking, compliance with national and EU posting regulations (Mobility Package), as well as entitlement to per diems, overnight allowances, and reimbursement of incurred expenses.
There are two main types of driver posting:
- daily national – performed within the territory of Poland; governed by national per diem rates (45 PLN / day), overnight allowances (67.50 PLN / night), and local regulations on working time and travel recordkeeping,
- weekly national – performed outside of Poland; subject to per diem and allowance rates specific to the destination country (the daily allowance rate is 60 EUR, while the accommodation rate is defined based on the regulation), as well as EU rules for posted drivers (e.g. IMI declarations, local minimum wage of the host country – see Foreign pay).
