The situation of the applicant applying for a retirement pension for work in a special conditions while not possessing the required work certificate confirming such a circumstance raises numerous interpretative doubts for each party to the proceedings. Determining whether a job is or is not a job in special conditions based on indirect evidence is a very common challenge which the Labor and Social Security Courts currently have to face. In this study I have characterized the premises whose combined existence allow for the assumption that a given work can be considered as performed in special conditions. On the basis of legal acts, the current position of doctrine and judicature, as well as taking into account the specificity of social insurance law norms, I indicate determinants characteristic for work in special conditions, the determination of which is crucial for the applicant’s acquisition of the right to retirement.

Social insurance law and labour law have been intrinsically interrelated since the very beginning of their existence, as they cover the same sphere of human activity. At present we can observe that these relations are weakening mainly due to the continuously extending personal scope of social insurance law. The most important relations between social insurance law and labour law may be classified as relations of material (defining conditions of granting benefits), functional (legal methodology and political measures) and organisational (administrative) nature. A shift in the direction of the influence on shaping the rights and obligations of the labour relationship parties may be observed. It is no longer labour law that exclusively determines the situations protected (insurance risk), but to a broader extent both social insurance law and labour law are used simultaneously to reach a goal that is pursued.

The subject of this paper is related to the legal bases of social insurance law in the light of the 1997 Constitution of the Republic of Poland. The considerations undertaken herein indicate that although the Polish Constitution gave expression to the idea of social security, it seems that only on this foundation is the existence of the constitutional bases for distinguishing social insurance or social security law reasonable.

DIFFERENTIATION OF THE PART OF WAGES ALLOCATED TO SOCIAL SECURITY CONTRIBUTIONSThe article is concerned with the legal conditions and economic effects of the behaviour of the addressees of the law which leads to the determination of different proportions of social contributions to the total employment wage. The conducted research points to the differences between the normative interest rates of social insurance contributions and the real part of wages set aside for social insurance contributions. The differentiation of the part of the wage earmarked for contributions is, on the one hand, the result of the implementation of legal norms and, on the other hand, the consequence of the decisions of the insured persons, which together should be the subject of legal assessment and the basis for choosing the optimal policy directions of social insurance law. The findings also have wider implications — the principle of differentiation in social security law has so far been only applied to the differentiation of the entitlement to benefits, but it should also be applied to the different contribution obligations.
