Nowa stawka za badania psychologiczne

The Minister of Health signed a regulation on 26 October raising the fee for psychological examinations performed when applying for driving licences and when working as a driver (Opłata w górę po raz pierwszy od 12 lat. Kierowcy zapłacą więcej od 14 listopada – WNP.pl). The act was published in the Dziennik Ustaw on 30 October and will enter into force on 14 November .

The amount was changed in two points of paragraph 13 of the regulation: the previous 150 zł was replaced with 200 zł . This is an increase of 33.3 percent, i.e. 50 zł more for each person required to undergo the examination.

Kogo dotyczy podwyżka

The new rate covers examinations in the field of transport psychology, required when applying for driving licences and when working as a driver . The change affects primarily truck and bus drivers, but also people referred for an examination after violating road traffic regulations.

Okres przejściowy

The regulations provide for an exception. Examinations started before the change enters into force, which have not ended with the issuance of a psychological certificate, may be completed under the previous rules . As a result, some examinees will pay the old rate of 150 zł.

Co dalej

From 14 November, all new examinations will cost 200 zł . Employers hiring drivers should take the higher cost into account when planning examinations for new employees and when monitoring periodic examinations. This is the first increase in this fee in 12 years.
