Student's summer job can cost parents their social benefits in Poland

When a school pupil or student takes on seasonal work in Poland, their earnings can affect the family's entitlement to income-tested social benefits. Non-means-tested transfers such as the 800+ child benefit are unaffected, but family allowances and social scholarships may be reduced or suspended if the household income exceeds the relevant threshold. Families are advised to check current income limits before their child starts work.
