Minimum wage higher than statutory requirement
22:35
The minimum wage in Poland in the upcoming year will amount to PLN 1,750 per month. This is higher than the statutory requirement. According to the law, next year's minimum monthly wage cannot be lower than PLN 1731.
Currently, the minimum wage is PLN 1680.
Unions are pushing for a minimum wage that is equal to 50 percent of the national average wage. Entrepreneurs claim that a higher minimum wage will raise unemployment and further expand the gray economy.
After consultations with unions and entreprenuerial organizations, the government will make a final decision on September 15.
