The Sejm has adopted provisions on the minimum hourly rate

9 August 2016

The President signed on 5 August 2016 the Act of 22 July 2016 Amending the Act on the Minimum Remuneration for Work and Certain Other Acts (the "Act on Minimum Remuneration"). The amendment introduces, first of all, a minimum hourly rate of remuneration of PLN 13 for contractors or persons providing services, which is to be applied from 1 January 2017, and new obligations associated with the documenting of services provided by such persons, regardless of how much they earn. There is also a procedure in place to allow entities providing services, the costs of which are affected by the increase of remunerations, to renegotiate such arrangements, or terminate them, if renegotiations fail.
