New rules for mine closures and miner support
The act introduces new rules for financing mine closures and social benefits for miners. Employees of mines covered by the support system can take mining leave or receive a one-time severance payment of PLN 170,000. The act also sets state budget spending limits for these purposes until 2035.
Key points
Miners can receive mining leave (up to 5 years) or leave for coal preparation plant workers (up to 4 years) with 80% of their salary, followed by retirement.
Employees not eligible for leave, with at least 3 years of service, can receive a one-time severance payment of PLN 170,000 (exempt from income tax).
Mine closures and related benefits will be financed from the state budget, with a maximum spending limit of, e.g., PLN 2,229 million in 2026 and PLN 729 million in 2035.
Mining companies under the support system cannot hire new employees, except for specialists, with priority given to workers from closing mines.
Municipalities lose their right of first refusal for properties necessary for mining operations when a mine is transferred between companies.
