The government has approved draft legislation to automatic wage indexation. Under this law wages and benefits that are linked to the retail price index will not be topped up by 2% as usually automatically happens when prices rise by 2%.
The government has approved draft legislation to automatic wage indexation. Under this law wages and benefits that are linked to the retail price index will not be topped up by 2% as usually automatically happens when prices rise by 2%. The government also set the scope for wage rises. In 2015 the wage bill isn’t being allowed to rise at all. Next year a 0.3% rise is allowed without employers being penalised. The trade unions remain opposed to the measures that they call unbalanced.
