In international comparison, Switzerland is a high-wage country. Despite this, Switzerland’s purchasing power is falling. Inflation is giving us trouble and eating away at any wage increase. In addition, wage dumping is practiced in many places: minimum wage violations have increased from the previous year, as Seco reported.
The Swiss Trade Union Federation (SGB) is now calling for an aggressive approach to any new wage negotiations. To best prepare for this, SGB has long offered a “fee calculator”. This has now been updated and includes two million current salary data from 35,000 companies in 71 industries. Also, the platform now allows for the expected pay rise from 2020 to stabilize.
“After three years of real wage losses due to price increases and insufficient wage growth, and a shortage of skilled workers, the chances for strong wage increases are rarely better than this year,” the SGB said.
Blick is putting several samples to the test. Assuming the seeker is a 40-year-old male who has completed an apprenticeship, does not have a managerial position, and has served 5 years, these examples arise for the following occupations:
one
2
3
4
5
The fees pictured above seem reasonable, not high. “The wage calculator is real,” assures SGB economist David Gallusser, 38. If the parameters change (age, education, etc.), big differences emerge quickly.
If you are below the specified salary range, you should definitely renegotiate. But those whose wages are exactly reflected in the wage calculator: “Actually, wages should be higher than what the wage calculator says,” says Gallusser. The reason for this was the deterioration of wages in real terms due to price developments and the lack of inflation adjustments.
The current wage calculator, first made available in 2005, is based on wage structure research from 2020 by the Federal Statistical Office and ensures that the expected wage increase between 2020 and 2023 is balanced against normal wages. Informs users individually about applicable collective bargaining agreements and minimum wages.
David Gallusser advises employees not to use the salary calculator solely to find out their current salary. But also to investigate what happens in further education or later in life. Or how much you can earn in other industries. Not only does this give employees a better idea of how high their salary expectations should be. You can also get inspiration for new career paths.
