The Trade Restrictions Act applies to:

• employees,
• temporary employees
• other natural persons working on the basis of civil law contracts – performing paid work with a contractor engaged in a commercial activity.

A commercial institution within the meaning of the law is "an object in which trade is exercised and trade-related activities are exercised".

PROHIBITION OF SALE SUNDAY. Government puts an end to law changes

Activities at a point of sale necessary for the conclusion of a sales transaction may be considered directly related to the business.

In particular, it is about:

• accept and process orders,
• exposure of goods,
• culling,
• removal of defective or expired products,
• packaging
• all activities related to the preparation of a point of sale for the trade (for example, cash register preparation, distribution of money, severance pay for staff),
• activities related to the end of trading on a given day and the closing of the point of sale (for example, conversion and settlement of turnover, security control, activation of an alarm).

For activities directly related to commerce, you can not include, for example:

• object protection,
• cleaning facilities by the cleaning team,
• maintenance and maintenance work related to the operation of equipment.

To circumvent the act, it would be desirable to entrust these activities, under additional obligations, to employees or employees carrying out commercial activities or other business-related activities at a point of sale from Monday to Saturday.

The use of occasional and unpaid help from family members in this case does not violate the provisions of the law. However, they can not be employees or employees of such a contractor and perform paid work on other days of the week.

Exclusion of art. 6 para. 1 point 27 of the law on partners of a civil partnership will be possible, provided that these people negotiate in person, without the help of employees or employees.

At the same time, since a partner in a civil law company is neither an employee nor an employee, this issue remains outside the purview of the PIP.

According to the prevailing view, the franchisee acts on his own behalf and for his own account, and the franchise agreement between him and the franchisor is only a form of business management.

Thus, if a franchisee employing employees or employees wishes to open his shop on a Sunday or holidays, it is possible provided that he carries out the business only in person.

According to the law, the ban does not apply to service stations. Thus, if the store is part of a gas station, it is excluded from the trade ban.

In accordance with the law on the limitation of trade on Sundays and public holidays and on certain other days, the prohibition of trade does not apply to commercial establishments in which the trade is carried out by a contractor who is a natural person only in person, for his own account and for his own account .

Therefore, the above-mentioned exclusion also applies to a contractor who is a natural person and trades exclusively in person, for his own account and for his own account, in a bazaar or a market.
