At a press conference following the signing Markovic said that the agreement determines broader rights of employees in state organs, as well as that the unions’ social dialogue is becoming a reality.
We have satisfactory cooperation with the union of employees in this sector, and we will try to improve the position of employees even further, stressed the Minister adding that the agreement is a basis for future cooperation and is useful for both the state and employees in public administration.
The Minister recalled that the average salary of government employees with secondary school education is between RSD 15,000 and RSD 16,000, and of those with higher education around RSD 30,000. However, he did not specify how much the salaries will be increased now that the special collective agreement has been signed.
He explained that the agreement envisages the manner of exercising rights and duties of government employees in line with the law and bylaws regulating this area.
According to him, the agreement did not incorporate union’s demand for meal allowance and holiday supplement, but only an annual prize payable in January.
The Minister said that the special collective agreement for state organs is to be signed today by the union of employees in judiciary, but union’s president Slavica Zivanovic gave up.
Potezica said that the agreement will systematically solve employees’ income.
He explained that signatories will be able to negotiate on the amount of base for the accounting and payment of employees’ wages in the procedure of drafting the budget law, starting from the highest amount of base for the previous budget year and projected inflation, as well as to determine the dynamics of the base increase during the budget year.
The agreement also envisages that the signatories will be able to negotiate during the budget year at representative union’s initiative, said Potezica.
The president of the union of employees in public administration, judiciary and social organisations pointed out that the union did not have the right to negotiate on the amount of base for the accounting of wages before, but now we have conditions in this respect.
