The increase was agreed in 2021, but only now kicks in. As a result of the increase, the guaranteed average gross minimum wage rises to € 2,189.81 per month. The minimum wage applies to all employees aged 18 and over. It is binding and covers all sectors. Sectors are, however, permitted to agree on higher minimum wages, and they often do so. According to the Christian trade union, ACV-CSC, around 100,000 workers in the country are on the minimum wage.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Read on: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fd85j82c4.r.eu-central-1.awstrack.me\u002FL0\u002Fhttps:%2F%2Fcrm.etui.org%2Fcivicrm%2Fmailing%2Furl%3Fu=91422%26qid=5205603\u002F1\u002F0107019e1be8659e-b1988f47-888d-4d5a-9be2-3e08301280bc-000000\u002Fz1IDBPR48Dz9M_3Ung5ULaAuEcc=258\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">in English…\u003C\u002Fa> Read on: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fd85j82c4.r.eu-central-1.awstrack.me\u002FL0\u002Fhttps:%2F%2Fcrm.etui.org%2Fcivicrm%2Fmailing%2Furl%3Fu=91423%26qid=5205603\u002F1\u002F0107019e1be8659e-b1988f47-888d-4d5a-9be2-3e08301280bc-000000\u002FSr_XB4bLLu-LAsGkeV4brVQD51Q=258\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">in Dutch and French…\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>More information: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.etui.org\u002Fnewsletters\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\u002F\u002Fwww.etui.org\u002Fnewsletters\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>","light",{"text":42,"link":43},"Contact us",{"title":42,"url":44,"description":42,"rel":45,"type":46,"id":47},"\u002Fabout\u002Fcontact","follow","internal",24590,[49],{"id":50,"slug":51,"name":52},5,"collective-agreements","Collective Agreements",[54],{"id":55,"slug":56,"name":57},1,"news","News",{"id":59,"first_name":60,"last_name":61,"email":62,"image":63,"function":64,"external":65},2,"Gunjan","Pandya","gunjanpandya@wageindicator.org","https:\u002F\u002Fwageindicator.org\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002FGunjan-Pandya-ED_PhPZSyI.width-400.jpg","IT Specialist and Global Webmaster",false,[67],{"id":59,"first_name":60,"last_name":61,"email":62,"image":63,"function":64,"external":65},[],[],"\u002Fwork\u002Fliving-wages\u002Fcontact-us","\u003Cp>Welcome to WageIndicator.
