Abstract: The paper discusses the issue of the fine line between fictitious employment and discrimination. The presented study is a reflection from the Polish perspective. The purpose of this paper is to present the Polish regulation and authorities’ practices concerning the entitlement of women who began employment during pregnancy to social security benefits. The manuscript emphasizes that pregnancy does not create any presumption of fictitious employment, and the refusal to grant social security benefits to such women often leads to discrimination.

Key Words: Labour Law; Discrimination; Employment Fiction; Employment of Pregnant Women; Social Security; Poland.
