The minimum wage in 2020 for full-time work from January 1, 2020 is 940.58<\/strong> euros (gross).<\/b><\/h3>\n

With the adoption of the amendment to the Minimum Wage Act, the minimum wage for full-time work from 1 January 2019 will increase from the current 638 euros net to 667 euros, and from 1 January 2020 to 700 euros (940.58 euros gross).
