Minimum rates
At the time of work abroad, a Polish employer posting an employee to France should provide him with a remuneration equal at least to the rates in force in that country where the employee performs work. Such an obligation results from the EU Directive No. 96/71 / EC.
The minimum wages in France differ from the rates provided for under Polish law. For example, from January 1, 2011, the monthly minimum gross remuneration rate, so-called SMIC is € 9.22 per hour in France.
Ensuring the minimum wage is one of the obligations of the employer posting the employee abroad. In addition, the law applicable in the country of performing work applies to holidays, working time, health and safety regulations etc. These provisions will apply in the relations between the employee and the employer, even if the employee has been employed under Polish labor law. Therefore, before the employee is posted abroad, the entrepreneur should become acquainted with the specific legal regulations in force in this respect in the country to which the employees are posted.
