Poland has been attracting foreigners who wish to change their lives for a long time. Apart from wonderful nature and impressive architecture, workers from all over the world are captivated by the perspective of settling in a country which values employee rights.

One such fundamental right is a constant salary increase to ensure decent living conditions for the citizens.

Poland regularly increases salaries twice a year. For instance, the salary of a physical worker who gets minimum wage in Poland has increased at least up to 4242 PLN per month gross or 27,70 PLN per hour gross in 2024. Starting from July 1, 2024, the wages for workers will change again and will be set at 4300 PLN per month gross or 28,10 PLN per hour gross.

What to expect in January 2025? One may surely expect the new wages up to 8.1 % higher compared to the previous year, which will make approximately 4500-4600 PLN per month gross. 

The same applies to others, belonging to the categories of white-color, pink-color or other jobs. The salary increments are mainly regulated by employers in Poland, however, the Labor Office will not approve a job offer for a professional if the salary offer does not meet general standards.  

Immigrants should not be afraid not to be subject to this rule as we are not talking about pure statistics but about the Decision of the Council of Ministers. This turns regular increments into permanent regulations, making it one of the basic requirements to obtain a temporary residence card, and puts restrictions on the employers.
