472,959 francs! This is how much a federal councilor will earn next year. Compared to today, this is an additional 4,683 francs. This bonus is approximately equivalent to the monthly salary of a nursing assistant. Or a waiter.

The Federal Council decided on Wednesday that federal staff will receive a cost of living allowance of 1 percent. And since the state government will receive the same adjustment as its subordinates in accordance with the “Ordinance of the Federal Assembly on Remuneration and Occupational Pensions for Magistrates”, the seven members of government can look forward to an increase from the current 468,276 francs to the new 472,959 francs. francs in 2024.

In addition to the salary, there is also an annual expense allowance of 30,000 francs. And for the relevant Federal President there is an additional lump sum of 12,000 francs.

Federal staff wanted more

After all, the Federal Council will have to settle for a smaller wage increase in 2024 than this year. The direct cost of living adjustment actually increased by five figures! About 11,421 francs. All federal employees received a 2.5 percent increase, although this could not fully offset inflation.

And if Savings Minister Karin Keller-Sutter (59) had met the latest demands of the Federal Personnel Association, wages should have risen by 2.6 percent. That’s how much the workers’ representatives demanded. For the Federal Council, the additional amount would have risen to 12,175 francs.

As the state government forgoes full inflation compensation, spending growth is at least dampened.

Bonus of 500 francs for lower pay scales

There is also a small social compensation for federal employees with lower wages. Salary classes 1 to 11 – i.e. annual incomes up to approximately 90,000 francs – receive a one-off special allowance of 500 francs in addition to the cost of living adjustment.
