Swisscom and social partners agree salaries for 2014 and 2015

Swisscom and the social partners have agreed salary increases for the coming two years. Total salary payouts will rise by 1.2% in 2014 and 1.8% in 2015. The salary increases for employees will be based on their performance and the size of their current salary, although pay rises of at least 0.3% per annum have been laid down for a large majority of the workforce. "This agreement ensures that good performance by employees is rewarded and that salaries grow in line with market developments", says Hans Werner, Swisscom's Head of Group Human Resources. "At the same time, by agreeing increases over two years we are giving our employees a guarantee for the future."
