He confirmed that discussions with the relevant unions regarding the new collective agreement are scheduled to begin on Monday. Furthermore, Misajlovski stated that salary and pay point increases are planned to take effect starting next year.
He added that in subsequent years, salary adjustments are anticipated to include a percentage increase, contingent upon budgetary availability. Misajlovski also addressed the Ministry’s ongoing efforts to manage inherited financial obligations, particularly concerning outstanding debts.
