Trade in humans for forced labour

The following circumstances specific to forced labour may be helpful in determining what is trafficking in human beings for forced labour:

  • the employer or the recruiter uses unfair practices or coercion,
  • the use of physical or mental violence against employees;
  • deprivation of liberty, control or restriction of the mobility of workers,
  • work without remuneration,
  • work without an employment contract,
  • poor social and living conditions,
  • work for debt,
  • forcing to work significantly exceeding the permissible norms,
  • taking documents away from employees (e.g. passport)

If a foreigner was employed in Poland, without detailed information on the conditions of work performance or if the conditions were different from those presented to them during the recruitment and as a result they were used by their employer, there is a probability that they could be a victim of trafficking in human beings for forced labour.
