Number of persons who work for the organisation, but who are not employed under employment contracts (as at December 31st 2021)
At PGNiG, the number of such employees is negligible (several persons). Such persons are only hired when the Company is in need of high-class experts. Most of the PGNiG Group companies very rarely engage in such form of cooperation. In total, in 2021 more than 800 persons worked for the Group, but were not employed under employment contracts. Most Group companies either employ very few or no such experts at all. On a larger scale, this form of cooperation is applied by PGNiG Serwis (over 500 persons), Geofizyka (up to 100 seasonal workers from February to September, mainly blue-collar jobs: geophysical surveyor, foreman operating vibration equipment, assistant driller, driver licensed to drive vehicles that weigh up to 3.5 tonnes, vibration equipment operator), and Exalo Drilling, operating in the Republics of Chad and Tanzania and using the services of third-party providers. In 2021, Exalo Drilling had over 40 persons hired through such third-party providers, working mainly under drilling mud contracts. This form of employment is used given the nature of the work and local labour law in the Republics of Chad and Tanzania.
