The ‘Clear Earnings’ Act is in the final stages of parliamentary proceedings
On Wednesday, 28 May, the Senate adopted with amendments the ‘Clear Earnings’ Act, which is to introduce mechanisms for transparency of remuneration at the recruitment stage. Today, 4 June, the Senate's amendments were approved by the Sejm's Extraordinary Committee for Changes in Codification.
The key change concerns the moment when employers will be required to provide candidates with information about the proposed salary or salary range and, where applicable, the provisions of the collective agreement or remuneration regulations. Senators proposed clarifying that this should be done ‘in advance to allow for familiarisation with this information’.
The Senate amendment to the bill will still have to be approved by the Sejm, which will conclude the parliamentary stage of the process. The bill will then be sent to the President.
