New Minimum Wage 2021

Government approves 7.7 pct minimum wage hike from 2021 The Polish government has approved the amount of minimum wage for 2021. Starting from January 2021 the minimum remuneration for work will amount to PLN 2 800 (gross). This means an increase by PLN 200 compared to the lowest wage that is in force in 2020 (PLN 2 600).  In turn, the minimum hourly rate for specific civil law contracts in 2021 will be PLN 18.30 (gross) / PLN 13.50 (net). This means an increase by PLN 1.30 compared to 2020 (PLN 17).   What impact do these changes have on the procedure for legalizing a foreigner's stay in Poland on the basis of work? If he or she applies for such residence permit on or after Jan 1, 2021, his or her contract of employment/ mandate must follow above new rules regarding salary.   Source:  https://www.premier.gov.pl/   https://www.thefirstnews.com/
