Severance pay (Poland)

Under Poland’s group-redundancy statute of 13 March 2003 (applicable to employers with 20+ staff), severance pay depends on tenure with that employer: 1 month’s pay (under 2 years), 2 months’ pay (from 2 to 8 years inclusive), or 3 months’ pay (over 8 years) — Article 8(1). Exactly 2 years already earns 2 months’ pay and exactly 8 years still earns 2; 3 months’ pay starts at 8 years and 1 day. The amount is capped at 15× the statutory monthly minimum wage in force on the termination date.

Service with this employer in years; decimals are allowed, e.g. 7.5. Brackets: under 2 years — 1 month’s pay, 2 to 8 years inclusive — 2, over 8 years — 3. Choose employment dates to count tenure to the day.
Pay calculated like the cash equivalent for unused holiday leave (Article 8(3) of the statute).
