Annual salary update

No comments

Last week, R&D attended the GTR (Groupe Technique Rémunération) meeting in Brussels, during which Eurostat and DG HR announced the figures of the 2015 salary update.

The overall  effect on salaries for Ispra-based staff will be an increase of 1,41%, as explained in detail below. The adjustment will be applied retroactively as from July 2015 and will be paid with the December salary slip.

The salary table will increase by 2,4% for all statutory staff (AD, AST, AST/SC and CA) in all duty stations. This is the combined result of the increase of cost of living in Brussels and the increase in purchasing power of national administration civil servants of 11 reference Member States.

For the staff posted outside Brussels, the salary is also affected by the Correction Coefficient (CC). In Ispra, our CC will decrease from 93,1 to 92,2 due to the fact that inflation in the Varese area has been lower than that of Brussels.

The current pension contribution rate will not change.

We remind you that this is the first annual salary adaptation since the reform, as the salaries were frozen in both 2013 and 2014.

A few further observations we have taken from the discussions we had with Eurostat:
  • This year, the CC of 28 locations decreased, it went slightly up in only 3 places
  • For the first time since many years, the Rome CC goes under 100 at 99,4!
  • The Eurostat figures show for the first time a reversal in the rent prices 2014-2015 trend: rent prices increase in Varese and decrease in Brussels. If this movement carries on the next years, it will drive our Varese CC upwards
