Years of work without a contract, performances “on the work”, hope that it will be somehow. Some Polish stars know before reaching the retirement age that old age will not be easy in financial terms. Some people find out after exceeding the appropriate age and only a few managed to save enough to make the pension paid not to the only available benefit. In an interview with Pleiades, he admitted that he could only count on his savings.
Tomasz Stockinger with retirement: The problem is the lack of system solutions
Few Polish artists could count on stable contracts and paying pension contributions by employers for years of professional work. The effect was not difficult to predict – minimal, sometimes even hunger pensions. Tomasz Stockinger is in a group that cannot say that he has the lowest pension, but it is definitely below the level that allows a peaceful life in any city in Poland.
My benefit is about PLN 3,000 gross. I know they are smaller. But if you have to, it will somehow eat – he confessed in an interview with Pleiades.
The actor raised the issue of a system problem, which now affects, in old age, working for Polish culture. Contracts for specific work are still a standard among artists and, despite the passage of years, they do not allow the employee to be covered by social insurance. And this means acquiring rights to absolutely minimal benefit. Who has not secured himself, postponing the money for the years of work, he has a choice – live for what he gets from the state, or still – – work.
Currently, research of employment forms in the industry indicate that self -employment is increasingly used, which shifts responsibility for any contributions to the person concerned. We invite you to participate in the poll and commenting.
