Poland -Minimum wage might go up in 2016 -September 16, 2015

The ministry of labour has announced that from 1 January 2016 the monthly minimum wage for those employed full-time will be set at PLN 1,850 gross (445 euro). In mid-July, the Trilateral Commission (TC) made its resolution on the minimum wage for 2016. Trade unions did not participate in the committee's work, having boycotted it since 2013. Between 2002 and 2007, the minimum wage remained virtually on the same level. In 2007-15, it went up from PLN 1,148 to PLN 1,750.
