The provisions of Polish labor law granting employees more rights related to the role of a parent have been constantly changing. This is largely the result of the implementation of EU directives. The purpose of the paper will be to analyze the impact of European law on Polish law, how the directive impacts, directive 96/34/EU, directive 2010/18/EU and directive 2019/1158/EU. The development of Polish labor law legislation regarding parental rights has evolved towards increasing them, not only in the numer of thease rights, but also in extending the duration of leaves related to child care. The aim of these changes is to facilitate the reconcolation of professional and personal life, share parental rights amoung parents, equalize opportunities for both sexes on the labor market, but also to ensure the possibility of providing personal care for the child.
