The year 2026 will bring a number of significant changes to labour law regulations and payroll calculation rules, which will have a real impact on employers, HR departments, and payroll teams. Experts from TPA Poland have prepared a study entitled “Guide to changes in labour law and wages in 2026”, which explains the new regulations in a clear and practical manner and shows how to apply them correctly in everyday practice.
The publication discusses, among other things, the increase in the minimum wage in 2026, changes to working time regulations, new rules for calculating length of service, as well as regulations on pay transparency, which will significantly change the approach to remuneration policies within organizations. We also analyze the impact of the new provisions on payroll calculations and employee entitlements.
The guide provides a detailed discussion of issues such as:
- Limitation of the basis for pension and disability insurance contributions as well as limitation of the basis for voluntary sickness insurance contribution
- Night work allowance
- The maximum amount of severance pay in the case of so-called collective redundancies
- Social Benefits Fund (ZFŚS)
- Working time dimension and the coefficient for calculating cash equivalents for unused leave
- A list of public holidays in 2026
