BC, Tallinn, 19.09.2013.Print version
Estonian employers and trade unions have reached an agreement that the minimum wage, which is currently at 320 euros a month, will be increased by 35 euros a month both in 2014 and 2015, LETA/Public Broadcasting reports.

The employers organisations and trade unions will sign the corresponding agreement on Thursday.

 

Unusually, the agreement will this time be signed for two years, during which the incomes of the most vulnerable part of the labour market should increase by almost a quarter, from 320 euros this year to 355 euros next year and 390 euros in 2015.

 

The government has to approve of the agreement for it to come in force.
