The minimum wage in Poland is the lowest monthly or hourly remuneration that employers are legally allowed to pay their workers in Poland. The sum is decided by the Polish government.
Before January 1, 2017 minimum wage did not apply to free-for-task agreements which were used to circumvent minimum wage laws resulting in wages far below the national minimum. In 2013, almost 1.5 milion workers were employed on such contracts.
