independent contractor / subcontractor


Explanation:
This appears to be the closest match - someone working under an umowa o dzielo in Poland would be considered an independent contractor / subcontractor in the United States.

Example sentence(s):
  • A general rule is that the EO, as the payer, has the right to control or direct only the result of the work done by an independent contractor, and not the means and methods of accomplishing the result.

disagree  Michal Berski: pytanie dotyczyło umowy, a nie osoby. Poza tym ktoś pracujący na umowę zlecenie też będzie "independent contractor"

agree  Jerzy Ozana: lub 'contract to perform a specified task'

  -> dziękuję i zgadzam się
neutral  Polangmar: Zbyt jednostronnie - tak może powiedzieć dziełobiorca.:) Dla dziełodawcy to będzie raczej "contract to obtain/receive/get specific work/task" - i na tym polega właśnie ta jednostronność czasownika "to perform" w odniesieniu do umowy o dzieło.:)

contract for a specific task


Explanation:
Takie tłumaczenie juz się powszechnie przyjęło.

Polish translators frequently use terms proposed by TEPIS in its translation of the Polish Civil Code: a contract for specific work (as umowa o dzieło) and a contract of mandate (as umowa zlecenie).

Na niepolskich stronach częściej występuje "contract for a specific task" niż "contract for specific work", dlatego w głównym polu zamieściłem to pierwsze wyrażenie (podawane przez PWN Oxford), a propozycję TEPIS-u w objaśnieniu. Więcej przykładów:
