New regulations are set to expand the scope of what can be stipulated through collective agreements, allowing these pacts to deviate from existing statutory provisions in several areas. One notable change concerns annual leave entitlements. Under these new agreements, a shorter period—up to two years—may be established for the accrual of annual holidays and the potential for cash compensation for unused leave, which is a reduction than the previous three-year maximum.
Furthermore, the framework for work arrangements will become more adaptable. Collective agreements will now have the authority to define differing terms regarding remote work possibilities and the method of wage payment when an employee is temporarily removed from their duties. The policy updates also introduce greater flexibility specifically for highly qualified workers.
These are defined as employees earning in excess of two average wages per month, and the new provisions aim to create tailored working conditions for this group. Finally, the government has announced plans to overhaul the system governing pension savings. This revision is predicated on the identification of new operational and financial conditions, signaling a comprehensive restructuring of retirement savings mechanisms for workers.
These changes collectively aim to provide greater customization and flexibility across employment contracts and financial planning.
