In 2025, the minimum monthly wage amounts to PLN 4,666, and the minimum hourly rate is PLN 30.50 — both of which will be subject to an upward adjustment.

The increase in the minimum wage will require employers to raise the salaries of employees earning less than PLN 4,806 gross per month. In addition, the adjustment will lead to a corresponding rise in the value of other employment-related benefits, such as:

• the night work allowance,
• the minimum compensation for unequal treatment,
• the minimum pay during periods of work readiness or downtime,
• retirement and disability severance payments, and
• the maximum statutory severance pay.
