PO to introduce obligatory salaries for interns

The MPs of the ruling Civic Platform (PO) have proposed an amendment that introduces obligatory salaries for interns. The new law stipulates that the interns will be paid 20 percent (nearly PLN 300)  of the minimum wage. The maximum threshold is set at twice the minimum wage. The amendment comes as the result of the provisions adopted by the European Commission. Two years ago, the European politicians have adopted this solution as a way to improve the situation of young people on the job market.
