As we step into 2025, Poland is introducing significant employment law changes that will impact businesses, employees, and global employers looking to expand or operate in the region. From wage increases to social security adjustments, these updates require strategic workforce planning and compliance readiness.
Key Employment Law Changes:
1. Increased Minimum Wage and Hourly Rate
Poland has raised its minimum monthly wage to PLN 4,666 gross, an increase from PLN 4,300 in the latter half of 2024. Similarly, the minimum hourly rate for civil law contracts has been adjusted to PLN 30.50 gross. Unlike previous years, there will be no mid-year increase in 2025.
📌 Quadlux Insight: These changes will impact payroll structures, cost planning, and contract negotiations. Our team ensures that businesses remain compliant while offering competitive employment packages.
2. Social Security Contributions Adjustments
- Due to an increase in the average wage, entrepreneurs will see higher social security contributions in 2025.
- However, the minimum health insurance contribution base will decrease, reducing costs for businesses operating under specific tax structures.
📌 Quadlux Insight: Our payroll and compliance experts help businesses navigate contribution adjustments, ensuring smooth and accurate payroll processing.
3. Mandatory Benefits & Employer Obligations
- Holiday Benefit: Companies with fewer than 50 employees must pay a one-time holiday benefit of PLN 2,417.14 gross, unless they opt out by January 31, 2025.
- Company Social Benefit Fund (ZFŚS): Employers with at least 50 employees must establish a Company Social Benefit Fund unless they opt out via policy amendments. Contributions per full-time employee stand at PLN 2,417.14 gross for 2025.
