I just read some really encouraging news for the IT world: starting in 2024, about 90,000 IT employees will see a well-deserved pay rise. After nine rounds of tough negotiations, the new collective agreement has secured a 7.8% increase in gross minimum salaries—and the best part is, it applies retroactively from the very beginning of the year.
That’s a big win, not just in numbers but in recognition of the value IT professionals bring every single day.
Looking ahead to 2025, there’s already a plan in place for further increases: 0.65% more in actual salaries and 0.15% more in minimum salaries above annual inflation.
To me, this feels like a sign that the IT sector is moving in the right direction, acknowledging the hard work and dedication of its people while also keeping an eye on the future.
