Collective bargaining on annual working hours and social costs for 2021 has ended in Škoda Auto. Premiums will appear on the November payroll of employees.
Collective bargaining on annual working hours and social costs for 2021 has ended at the Škoda Auto car plant in Mladá Boleslav.
At the beginning of the new year, the autumn part of collective bargaining is regularly followed by another part of bargaining on wage growth. However, negotiations will not take place next year, as the unions have concluded a collective agreement with the carmaker for two years this year.
According to union leader Jaroslav Povšík, we managed to negotiate the best possible form of annual working hours for 2021. “At the same time, an agreement was reached to pay a one-time premium of 4,000 crowns in the November salary together with the payment of the second part of the guaranteed bonus,” said Povšík.
“The agreement also results in adjustments to a number of benefits for employees,” Kotera said. For example, the company will increase the contribution after the birth of a child to 10,000 crowns, the employer’s contribution to supplementary pension savings and subsidies for the main meal will increase. Employees can also apply for a higher loan for the modernization and reconstruction of their housing, they will also have better conditions for loans for the purchase of new and used cars.
The company-wide holiday will be the first and second week in August 2021. “It is quite clear that not only in 2021 but also in the coming years we will face high demands and work hard to maintain and strengthen our good position in a sharply competitive environment and maintaining jobs, “said Povšík.
Collective bargaining on wage growth ended in mid-March this year. Tariff wages at Škoda Auto have risen by 5.7 percent since April 1, and will increase by another CZK 2,000 from April 1, 2021. The average gross salary of an employee who is remunerated on the basis of tariffs in the company was CZK 51,275 in 2018.
