Bolesławiec County head to receive a higher salary? There is a draft resolution and a specific amount

One of the items on the agenda of the April session of the Bolesławiec County Council will be a vote on a draft resolution concerning the determination of the new salary of Bolesławiec County Head Tomasz Gabrysiak. The document provides for adjusting the salary to the new limits set out in the Council of Ministers’ regulation, which has been in force since the beginning of 2026.

Under the draft, the county head’s monthly salary will include base salary and a functional allowance at the maximum amounts provided for by law. In addition, a special allowance amounting to 30 percent of the total base salary and functional allowance is предусмотрed.

Changes resulting from the new regulations

As stated in the justification for the resolution, the need to make new salary decisions results from the amendment to the Council of Ministers’ regulation of 25 February 2026. The new regulations increased the maximum levels of base salary and functional allowance for local-government employees.

These changes apply retroactively from 1 January 2026, which is why the proposed resolution is also to enter into force on the day it is adopted, but apply from the beginning of the year.

County discloses the cost for the budget

The document also discloses the financial effects of the planned decision. According to the calculations, the cost of the changes from 1 January to 31 December 2026 will amount to PLN 9,144. This means that the raise—if approved by the councillors—will affect the Bolesławiec County budget’s expenditure later this year.

Bolesławiec County Head Tomasz Gabrysiak currently earns PLN 18,980 gross per month, while under the draft resolution his salary is to increase to PLN 19,552 gross per month.

The decision is up to the councillors

Determining the county head’s salary falls exclusively within the competence of the County Council. The councillors will decide during the vote whether to adopt the draft resolution.

If it is adopted, the previous resolution from October 2025 regulating the county head’s salary will cease to apply.

Local-government officials’ salaries regularly attract residents’ attention, particularly when raises financed with public money are involved. In this case, the local government justifies the changes by the need to adjust the rates to the new national regulations.
