Minimum hourly rate increased

The minimum hourly rate which directly influences the minimum wage, will also increase in the next year. Currently, the minimum hourly rate equals PLN 17.00, while in the next year it is going to increase up to PLN 18.30.

Our aim is to ensure that the incomes of Polish citizens continue to increase, that is why the United Right has been paying as much attention to large increases in the minimum wage. We have also introduced a minimum hourly wage, which had not been applicable previously - reminds the Minister of Family, Labour and Social Policy Marlena Maląg.

The Minister enumerates that the next year’s increase in the minimum wage to PLN 2.800 is going to cause an increase in the income of households by nearly PLN 3 billion. Nearly 1.75 million employees receive minimum wage.
