The plans for such changes in the law recently informed the media , citing the ministry . But how to set the DGP , the resort will only produce a report with the lowest salary , which will include determine how changes in legislation would be necessary if the lowest salary were to be covered by the self-employed .

According to lawyers , however, such a solution would be unacceptable interference in the freedom of contract and would put into question the distinction between civil law and labor law .

There are already regulations
The hourly rate of the minimum wage , which applies a worker employed full-time , is variable, because the number of hours to be worked in each month varies . Generally, it can be calculated by dividing the minimum wage (1600 zł in this year , 1680 zł in the future ) by that number of hours . If the latter example, in one of the months of next year will be 168 , it is easy to calculate that the lowest rate will be 10 zł (1680 zł / 168 hrs . ) .



Salary workers paid hourly must reach the minimum level . This guarantee employment regulations. Under the Act of 10 October 2002 on the minimum wage ( OJ No. 200 , item . 1679 , as amended . Amended . ) , If in a given month due to the timing of payments of certain components of pay or work schedule the employee salary is lower the minimum height , he should be alignment. Shall be paid for the period of each month , including the fee .

In the case of persons working in the hourly rate compensation is paid for each hour of work . It represents the difference between the amount of remuneration arising from dividing the minimum wage (1600 zł this year) by the number of hours attributable to overwork in a given month (eg 168) and the salary received by the employee ( per hour).

They will often use
- Determination of salary hourly rate is a solution rarely used by employers. But there is no obstacle to an employee in lieu of a fixed monthly salary in the contract had indicated its amount per hour of work , including the working hours of a person - says Izabela Zawacka , legal counsel, law firm Wojewódka and Partners.

In her opinion in connection with the amendment of the Labour Code concerning the introduction of a 12-month accounting period your employer probably will often resort to such a solution . It will allow the payment of employee wages for time actually worked .

This is particularly important when the schedule assumes a large variation of working hours in each month ( this allows long periods ) .

Still, the remuneration calculated as the sum of the hourly rate and hours worked can not be lower than the minimum wage .

It will report
Contrary to media reports in the government has not decided on any changes in this regard.

Compensation for medical negligence


Medical errors are not uncommon, but the victim may not always aware of that. The effects of medical errors can occur long after the surgery performed poorly or wrong diagnoses, resulting in inadequate treatment.
Unfortunately, when the victim finds out too late that you can not always enforce their rights, because the error could be a particular doctor has prescribed.
Limitation of actions can not be earlier than three years after learning the patient about the damage suffered. This means that the victim at the time when he finds out that the damage is known the three years to enforce their rights in court. If the victim does not start within three years, then the limitation period.

Another important element is the issue of children. In the case of minors statute of limitations may not be the case in the age of the minor to sixteen years of age.
Keep in mind that it really is medical malpractice statute of limitations only if the doctor who made the mistake will raise the plea of ​​limitation.
To sum. Even if we know the damage a few years to the event that the offender can not be unpunished, and we have the right to assert their rights, such as damages, compensation or reimbursement of medical expenses and even a pension. Of course you have to remember that when we learn that the doctor or medical facility committed malpractice that we have three years to a lawsuit.
