What does a bailiff do?
A court bailiff is a public official who carries out the enforcement of monetary and non-monetary claims on the basis of enforcement titles. They seize wages, bank accounts and movable property, conduct property auctions, serve court documents and prepare inventory lists. They operate under the supervision of the court and collect enforcement fees set by statute.
What affects earnings?
- The number and value of cases — a large district with many receivables increases income.
- Enforcement effectiveness translates directly into the fees collected.
- Office costs — salaries of trainees, articled clerks and office staff.
- Work organisation and the use of IT systems.
Regional and experience-based differences
A trainee bailiff earns 7000-11000 PLN, a bailiff 15000-35000 PLN, and an experienced bailiff with a large office 35000-60000 PLN gross. Differences depend mainly on the district and the number of cases.
