The social partners of the metalworks industrial sector reached an agreement on January 20, 2017, that raises the pay grid for engineers and executives in 2017. The increase for 2017 affects five grids, corresponding to different work time arrangements that are offered to engineers and executives (lump sum arrangements in hours, in days, the 35 hour workweek, and arrangements with no time reference). This agreement sets out an appointment clause for September, which will bring the social partners back together in order to evaluate the implementation of this agreement and potentially revise it.
