The minimum wage for full-time work from January 1, 2019 is 886.63 euros (gross).<\/b><\/h3>\n

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