16. Changes in remuneration
The annual wage bargaining round in 2009 for pay in 2010 led to an agreement signed by three
of the five labour unions. These three bodies represented 70% of the votes cast at the last election
for employee representatives.
The agreement has several components:
• a long-term measure: an across-the-board 1% wage increase, but with a floor provision
of EUR 320 as from 1 January 2010;
• an exceptional bonus of EUR 1,200 pro-rated according to working hours.
• In addition, as in previous years, the agreement earmarks EUR 1 million to closing wage discrepancies
between men and women. This is the third consecutive year that this measure has been enforced. SA Mainland
