Slovakia -Slovak minimum wage setting to inspire Czechs in joint tripartite meeting -September 08, 2015

The Czech Prime Minister said Czech minimum wages should be brought in line with Slovakia’s minimum wage. The exchange of thoughts happened in the first ever joint tripartite meeting of the two countries. The object of inspiration is the minimum wage indexation system implemented in Slovakia. By law, whenever social partners failed to reach an agreement on a minimum wage hike, the minimum wage is raised by an amount based on the country’s economic performance.
