You can thank our people’s republic past for that. In the whole bloc and the USSR, monthly has been the standard. It just carried over.

(Troubled post-socialism past and, to some extent, present, in which the vast majority is living paycheck to paycheck with little to no ability to save up, is sure contributing to this mode of thinking.)

Rest assured that in many other EU countries that were never a "people's republic" salary is usually talked about on a "per month" basis.
