On 9 May 2025, the Polish lower chamber of Parliament passed an Act Amending the Labor Code to introduce a requirement to disclose remuneration information in job advertisements.
This is an important step towards increasing salary transparency in the Polish labor market. The bill was supported by 228 Members of Parliament in the third reading. The Act has been forwarded to the President of the Republic of Poland and the Speaker of the Senate and is awaiting the next stage of the legislative process.
The new regulations introducing salary transparency impose an obligation on employers to include information about salary or salary ranges in job offers. This data should be based on objective and neutral criteria, with particular attention to gender equality. Salary information can be provided to candidates both in paper and electronic form, either directly in the recruitment advertisement, before the interview, or before the employment relationship is established.
As part of the salary transparency regulations, the law also prohibits asking candidates about their current or previous salary levels. The new regulations related to salary transparency will come into effect six months after their publication in the Journal of Laws of the Republic of Poland.
The aim of introducing salary transparency regulations is to increase transparency in the labor market and combat wage inequality, especially those arising from gender differences. The Polish Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Policy has positively assessed the limitation of the regulations to the recruitment stage, which was welcomed by the Parliamentary Special Committee for Amendments to Codifications.
It is worth noting that the adopted draft bill is not an implementation of EU Directive 2023/970 on equal pay and transparency of working conditions. However, it addresses similar issues, focusing on salary transparency in the recruitment process.
We will continue to keep you informed about further developments regarding the planned amendment.
