The social partners in the public banking sector managed to sign a new collective agreement bringing an end to talks that began some nine months ago. The agreement will apply for a period of 35 months, until 31 May 2024. It applies to some 60,000 employees of public banks, who will see their salaries increase in two instalments: a hike of 3% on 1 July 2022, followed by a 2% increase in 1 July 2023. In addition to a one-off Covid-19 bonus of €750, which was paid in March, employees in the sector will receive a €300 bonus in April. Furthermore, their weekly working time will be reduced by one hour to 38 hours from January 2024.
