The Polish labor market is slowly adapting to the new pay transparency requirements, but the pace of change remains modest. In Grant Thornton’s latest report, we analyzed nearly 292,000 job postings published on Poland’s largest recruitment platforms.
Key findings show that:
- Only 24% of job postings include salary information;
- This is just 3 percentage points more than a year earlier, when the figure stood at 21%, even though regulations requiring employers to provide candidates with this information have since entered into force.
What’s more, when employers do disclose compensation, they typically do so in the form of salary ranges (93% of cases), which are often very broad and provide candidates with little meaningful information. Specific salary figures are provided far less often, in just 7% of cases. This suggests that, for many employers, pay transparency is still more of a formal requirement than a systemic practice.
Pay transparency: how to prepare your organization
The new regulations will require employers to do much more than simply include salary information in job postings. Organizations will need to evaluate roles, establish job grades, develop transparent pay structures, analyze the gender pay gap, and establish procedures for providing employees with information about compensation.
In the report, Grant Thornton experts highlight the key obligations arising from the upcoming regulations and outline practical steps organizations can take now to prepare for the changes.
