Number of persons who work for the organisation, but who are not employed under employment contracts (as at December 31st 2020)

At PGNiG, the number of such employees is negligible (15). Such persons are only hired when the Company is in need of high-class experts. This form of employment is very rare also across the entire PGNiG Group (with only 188 such cases). Most Group companies either employ very few or no such experts at all. Exalo Drilling, operating in the Republic of Chad and using services of third party providers, is an exception. In 2020, the number of staff hired through those providers was 125, working mainly under drilling mud contracts and contracts for the provision of management services. This form of employment is used given the nature of the work and local labour law in the Republic of Chad.
