From 1 June 2024, the new base pay levels will be as follows:
As of 1 January 2017, the increase in base pay can be absorbed by individual increases granted after that date, unless they are granted with an explicit non-absorption clause, as well as collective fixed wage increases, if any, agreed with the company after that date, with the exception of wage amounts related to the way the work is performed (e.g. overtime, shift, night, holiday allowances/increases).
The increase in base pay also applies to travel and on-call allowances as follows:
EQUALISING ELEMENT
Workers who are employed, on 1 January, at a company without any second tier agreements and who earned, in the preceding year (1 January to 31 December), only the pay elements in the National Collective Labour Agreement (workers without collective or individual extra allowances, annual bonuses or other compensation subject to contributions) must be paid a gross equalising amount of €485.00 or up to the equivalent of that amount, in cases where additional compensation is paid over and above that in the National Collective Labour Agreement. This extra amount is payable with the remuneration for June.
This amount does not affect employee severance pay.
Any portion of a month exceeding 15 days shall be calculated as an entire month, for the purposes of the equalising amount.
