The year 2023 will bring many changes to labour law. Some of the most important changes coming into force at the start of the year are the increase of the minimum wage and of business-trip related allowances. In 2023, due to high inflation, the minimum wage will be increased twice. From 1 January, the minimum wage is PLN 3,490 (€ 738) (up from PLN 3,010 or € 636 in 2022), and from 1 July it will amount to PLN 3,600 (€ 763). From 1 January 2023, the daily allowance to which employees are entitled for domestic business trips has been increased to PLN 45 (€ 9.51), which represents an increase of PLN 7 (€ 1.48) compared to the previous year.
