Under the Employment Promotion Act and labour market institutions, the work permit defines the minimum remuneration for a given position occupied by a foreigner. 

Therefore, if you want to raise the salary of a foreign worker, you do not need to obtain a new permit unless you change other employment conditions. The increase in salary, without modifying the remaining working conditions, does not oblige you to inform the voivodes or apply for a new permit.

Moreover, the Act indicates that raising the working hours dimension, with a proportional increase in wages, also does not require a new work permit.

IMPORTANT: You can increase your salary or the number of working hours (for example, part-time full-time), with a proportional increase in salary, without the need for a new work permit

However, in the event of a reduction in the working dimension, a new authorisation is necessary.
