From January 1, 2023, all entrepreneurs, both those employing several people and those paying contributions only for themselves, will be required to have a PUE ZUS profile. Previously, this obligation was for employers who paid contributions for more than 5 people.
The PUE ZUS profile for an entrepreneur offers many possibilities, allowing not only the electronic submission of documents to ZUS, but also receiving correspondence from the Institution. Employers also have constant access to information regarding the sick leave of their employees, and their sick employee does not have to deliver a paper sick leave form to the company. However, if such a PUE profile does not exist, the employee still needs to deliver a “paper” sick leave (printout).
From 2023, all PUE
– From next year, according to the changes in regulations, anyone who is a contributor will have a statutory obligation to have an active profile on PUE ZUS. It does not matter whether they only pay contributions for themselves or employ one, two, or more people – having a PUE profile will be necessary. Correspondence from ZUS will come to the PUE ZUS profile, so it is important for the profile to remain active to not miss important information from ZUS – explains Beata Kopczyńska, regional press spokesperson for ZUS in the Silesian Voivodeship.
Every contributor must create such a profile by the end of this year. In case of failure to fulfill this obligation, ZUS will create the PUE profile for the contributor (the contributor will have to provide their email address to ZUS), and this will be done by January 31, 2023. – It would be good to create such a profile yourself and familiarize yourself with the functionalities of PUE calmly. This is where ZUS will direct correspondence to the contributor, it is worth knowing where to find it, how to respond, or how to send applications to ZUS. If someone would like explanations or support, our employees will gladly help with this. Assistance can be obtained by using an e-visit to ZUS, a video call with our expert, or in person at any ZUS branch. On-site, the employees of the Institution will also show the functionalities of PUE ZUS and the possibilities it offers – encourages the spokesperson.
The new regulations introduce the possibility of electronically signing documents for ZUS not only with a qualified electronic signature (as it was before), but also with a trusted signature or the personal signature of the person responsible for submitting these documents.
Just a few minutes
Creating a profile on PUE ZUS is very simple. It will take no more than a few minutes. In order to be able to use the trusted profile on PUE ZUS, you must first create a profile on PUE, and then “trust” it, i.e., confirm the identity of the person creating the profile.
Contributors can create a profile on PUE ZUS themselves on the internet and then confirm it using online banking, a qualified electronic signature, an e-signature, or ePUAP.
ZUS organizes online training on the functionalities of PUE. It is worth taking advantage of this opportunity and familiarize yourself with the solutions that this platform offers. Information about training can be found on the website www.zus.pl in the “Training and Events” section. All training is free, and anyone interested can participate.
