There will be more wages in the hairdressing industry from next year. The minimum wage for qualified workers who have completed apprenticeship training will be increased by 440 francs per month, the Syna union announced on Friday. This corresponds to 5,280 francs per year. Semi-skilled people with a vocational certificate after a two-year apprenticeship receive 340 francs more per month, while unskilled people receive 420 francs more per month.

The wage increase corresponds to an average increase of 11 percent by 2027. It was even stated that in some professional categories, the increase would be as much as one fifth in four years. The outcome of wage negotiations amounts to at least one month’s additional pay, and in some cases even two salaries, for the majority of affected employees.

Longer holidays and more paternity leave

In addition, the new collective bargaining agreement increases work-family harmony. New fathers will now receive 13 days of fully paid paternity leave instead of five, Syna wrote in a press release. All hairdressers and hairdressers benefit from two and a half days of additional holiday.

Syna’s renewed collective bargaining agreement for the hairdressing industry will enter into force on January 1, 2024 and will be valid until 2027. It affects approximately 11,000 employees at 4,232 hair salons in the sector. (sak/SDA)
