A collective agreement was closed for all central government employees in line with the national wage agreement that was validated last month. The collective agreement includes a €20 pay hike and a 0.73% increase of bonuses from 1 August 2014 and a 0.30% from 1 August 2015. Those increases will run until 31 January 2016. In a further negotiation round, scheduled for mid-2015, the partners will bargain about wage increases for the second half of the collective agreements period that will run from 1 February 2016 to 31 January 2017.
