Confirm 2026 payroll reflects the PLN 4,806 monthly / PLN 31.40 hourly minimum. This figure also feeds other statutory thresholds (e.g. some ZUS contribution floors and allowance calculations), so check downstream calculations too.
Karistus
Fines of PLN 1,000-30,000 under the Labour Code (Kodeks pracy) for paying below the statutory minimum wage.
The Rada Dialogu Społecznego (Social Dialogue Council) did not reach a unanimous position, so under the Minimum Wage Act the Council of Ministers must set the 2027 figure by regulation no later than 15 September 2026, and cannot set it below the PLN 4,950 gross / PLN 32.30 hourly figure it already proposed to the social partners. As of this run (2026-09-08), the confirming Dziennik Ustaw regulation had not yet been published - treat PLN 4,950 as the legal floor, not yet the final confirmed figure.
