THE MINIMUM WAGE, CONTRACT LAW AND
FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS IN POLAND
KAROL RYSZKOWSKI
(Cracow University of Economics – Cracow - Poland)
The minimum wage, which guarantees that the state guarantees fundamental
rights for the individual, has its practical implications, also in the field of the Polish
contract law. The minimum wage in Poland a pplies to both the public and private
sectors.
As pa rt of the work on the assumptions of the dr aft budget act for 2021, the
Polish governmen t pr oposed freezing wages in the public sector. The Lewiata n
Confeder ation, like most of the socia l partners in the Social Dia logue Council,
appeals to the government to verify the initial position and increase the salaries of
budgetary se ctor employees. The gover nment has proposed an aver age annual
growth rate of wages in the state budget sector in 2021 of 100%, which in practice
means a wage freeze. There is a considerable inconsistency in this position because
if they can afford to raise the minimum wage from PLN 2,600 to PLN 2,800 in 2021 ,
the level of wages in the budget will dangerously approach the minimum w age. If
during the crisis the government proposes a sharp increase in the minimum wage,
the mor e it is worth asking for the indexation of salaries in the budgetary sphere.
Low wages in the budgetary sector limit the alrea dy ineffective system of public
services. The Lewia tan Confederation proposes that the wage growth rate should
reach 110%. Wages in the budgetary sector have been inhibited for years, which
worsens the situation in the public services sector every day, negatively affecting
their quality and causing the outflow of the best employees. The problem of poor
quality of public services is also highlighted by the European Council, which had
recommended Poland to invest in this area1.
So as we can see the behavior of the Polish authorities in the field of earnings
in the public/budgetary spher e seems not to take into account the recommendations
of the European Union2.
Social partners and the Polish government did not agree on the minimum
wage in 2021. The Lewiatan Confederation said that: Increasing the minimum wage
