Negotiations about raising minimum wage to take place in September

Negotiations about raising the minimum wage should start in September, Blic writes, saying that the talks usually started in mid-August in the past few years, but that this time, due to vacations, they will start a month later.

The government will commence the talks with union members and employers in September, the vice president of the Confederation of Autonomous Trade Unions of Serbia, Zoran Mihajlovic, told Blic and added that the negotiating parties were the ministries of labor and finance, the Confederation of Autonomous Trade Unions of Serbia, the Independence Union and the Serbian Association of Employers.

It is already known that unions will ask for the minimum wage to be raised by RSD 5,000, that employers are offering an increase by RSD 1,600, and that the state will agree to a raise of RSD 2,500.

The minimum wage currently amounts to RSD 24,882 and is paid to 350,000 workers in Serbia. Since 2010, the state has raised the minimum wage six times.

On January 1, 2018, it was raised by 10%.
