In May 2008, the social partners in the private sector finally signed the intersectoral Collective Agreement on Extraordinary Pay Adjustment for 2007 and on the Pay Adjustment Method, the Refund of Work-related Expenses and the Annual Leave Bonus for 2008 and 2009. In the public sector, in July 2007 and after five years of negotiations, the government and the public sector trade unions reached an agreement on the overall intersectoral collective agreement for the public sector. Trade unions in education, science and judiciary are still negotiating with the government about the provisions of the sectoral collective agreements. Social partners agree that changes to the legislation on minimum wage are necessary.
