On 23 July 2021, a draft regulation containing a proposal to
increase the minimum wage for 2022 was published. As a result, the
minimum salary a full-time employee will receive from 1 January
2002 will amount to PLN 3,000 (approx. EUR 660), which means an
increase of PLN 200 (7.1%) in relation to the amount currently in
force. The minimum monthly wage is set in gross amount.
If the employment contract provides for a lower wage, the
minimum wage will apply by law. Payment of wages below the minimum
wage is a violation of employment rights and may be subject to
fines.
At the same time, the minimum hourly rate for persons performing
tasks under certain civil law contracts in 2022 will be PLN 19.60
gross, i.e. PLN 1.30 more than this year.
