Good to know:
-
These are annual gross salary amounts, assessed only on the basis of the gross salary or gross salary components that constitute the compensation for the work and which are known in advance and with certainty.
-
The guaranteed average monthly minimum income applies to workers who do not fall under any joint committee. It must be achieved, even in the event of part-time employment. For more information on the average monthly minimum income, visit the website of the Federal Public Service Employment, Labour and Social Dialogue.
