Monthly minimum wage to grow by PLN 100

The minimum monthly wage will grow by PLN 100 and will stand at PLN 1850 gross starting January 1, 2016, said the Ministry of Labor. The ministry had proposed a PLN 100 raise in June. The motion was proceeded by the Tripartite Commission and since the body has been boycotted by trade unions for the last two years, it failed to agree on a different amount. The law on minimum wage stipulates that the ministry's proposal may be altered only if the commission puts forward a different sum. Entrepreneurs' organizations suggested to raise a minimum wage so that it stands between PLN 1782 and 1800.
