The average gross monthly wage is the share of wages and salaries (including premium pay for overtime, direct remuneration and bonuses, refund of wages, etc.) per one employee/month. It does not therefore show what wage does each concrete employee receive. Results of structural statistics providing data on employees´ earnings show that approximately two thirds of employees have a lower wage than the national average.
It should be mentioned that an employee receives net salary, while the gross wage is such from which the employer pays appropriate amounts on health and social insurance, policy of employment and advance income tax.
