The discussion on the possibility of combining professional work with caring for a person with disabilities has been carried out for years now. Very often the carer has high competences, qualifications and potential to work or carry out other gainful activity in a way that does not make it difficult to support a person with disabilities. The Polish Labour Code was amended on 7 April 2023 to introduce the institution of remote work. This amendment also offered regulations on caring for persons with disabilities. On 1 January 2024 regulations on the situation of the legal position of persons with disabilities that require assistance and of their carers were amended. Given the above, it is necessary to analyse normative measures that pertain to the possibility of combining remote work with caring for a person with disabilities. Results of this analysis are presented in this study.
