Below-average gross wages (expense for employer), with above-average net wage purchasing power (how much employees can buy).

Meaning: can pay less, without people protesting more.

For comparison: Denmark has 309% gross wages, with only 167% net purchasing power... so for the same employee's purchasing power/satisfaction, an employer can pay only 54% wages in Poland.
