Salaries in the Polish ministries

Hello everybody,

I would like to ask if there is any report concerning salaries in the Polish ministries? How much a specialist in ministri of Transport or Infrastructure can get? Is it true that in public jobs ppl get 13 salaries?

Thanks a lot

Salary in Polish ministries differ - best wage is in Ministry of Foreign Affairs - approx. 8 thousand PLN , the lowest is in Department of Health 5,8 thousand.

In the Ministry of Transport, Construction and Maritime salaries amounts to 6.5 thousand PLN.


Yes - it is true..

5.8 thousand the lowest for a specialist? Whoa fella! netting 3k as a specialist is about average. As you go up from referendarz to Głowny Specialist you can expect pay raises of a few hundred zl. a month, of course every ministry is different and you can negotiate a bit but it's about average to top out at a bit over 4k net for main specialist. If you can become a director of a department you're looking at something more around the 8k figure, but director positions are hard to come by without knowing the right people.
