In the collective bargaining agreements, the contractual minimum associated with the position held by the worker is the main fee to be paid for all contractual elements associated with the service performed and paid absences, and also represents the basis used to determine other fees, such as, for example, bonuses.
There are no exceptions to compliance with the contractual minimum.
In addition to contractual minimums, remuneration may consist of other elements, such as, for example, extra allowances over minimum pay, that is to say sums agreed between the parties in the individual contract or as part of corporate bargaining.
The employer and the employee are free to decide upon individual extra allowances over minimum pay, depending on the type of service performed or the particular merits of the employee. The extra allowance over minimum pay may also be added to an employee’s remuneration following a change in position/level and may absorb accrued length‑of‑service allowances.
Collective extra allowances over minimum pay directly associated with the contractual positions/levels may be granted to all employees company‑wide.
