As many as 30% of Poles are planning to ask for a pay rise within the next six months, according to a new poll.
Of the 30%, UCE Research and SYNO Poland pollsters found that 31.9% said they wanted to ask for a rise equaling 10-15% of their current wage while 24% said they would be pleased with a 5-10% hike.
As many as 43.6% declared no plans to ask for a wage rise, and 27% were undecided.
Close to 22% said they could not remember when they received their last wage rise, while 20% said they received one about six months ago.
According to the authors of the survey, some employers increased staff wages around six months ago to meet soaring inflation, mainly in companies unaffected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The computer-assisted survey was carried out on October 29-30 on a random sample of 1,034 adult Poles. (The First News/Business World Magazine)
