Services union Ver.di has secured a new 24-month agreement covering around 21,000 employees at the clinic operator Helios. There will be a 3.8% pay increase in total, with a 1.4% rise in April this year, 2.0% in April 2022 and a further 0.4% in November 2022. Employees will also receive a €400 ‘corona bonus’ (€100 for trainees) as well as an additional day off in recognition of the extra work done during the pandemic. A care allowance of €100-300 a month will also be reinstated. Meanwhile, Ver.di negotiated a new two-year agreement covering 8,500 employees of the SRH group of clinics. The agreement runs until 31 December 2022 and provides for a 2.3% increase as of 1 April 2021 but with a minimum increase of €60, benefitting lower-paid workers. There will be a further 2.3% increase (minimum €60) on 1 April 2022 and a final 1.3% rise on 1 September 2022.
