The government proposed to increase the minimum social salary by 1,4% as of 1 January 2017. This means that the minimum social salary for non-qualified employees will rise to EUR 1,949.86 per month (i.e. an increase of EUR 26.90) and the minimum social salary for qualified employees will rise to EUR 2,339.84 per month (i.e. an increase of EUR 32.28). The last increase of the minimum social salary in Luxembourg was applied in January 2015. Luxembourg has one of the highest minimum social salaries of all the EU member states.
