One of the most common is that female entrepreneurs are inherently at a disadvantage and cannot expect fair benefits from ZUS. However – and it's important to state this clearly – this is simply not true. What's more, an entrepreneurial mother has a real impact on the amount of her maternity benefit, unlike her employed counterpart.
