Table explanation

The table contains data on indices of collective labour agreements (cao in Dutch) wages per month and per hour including and excluding special payments, indices of contractual wage costs (per month and per hour) and indices of contractual working hours. In addition, tabulated data are shown on the evolution, calculated from these indices and the percentage of completed collective labour agreements.

The table data can be broken down into:
- Cao sector;
- Economic activity (SIC'93);
- Version of the results;
- Months, years and quarters.

Data available from: January 2000.

Status of the figures:
All the figures from 2000 to 2013 are final.
The figures from 2014 are provisional. Because this table is discontinued, figures will not be updated anymore.

Changes as of February 2, 2015:
None, this table is discontinued.

When will new figures be published?
Not applicable anymore.

This table is replaced by Cao wages, contractual wage costs and working hours; index (2010=100) See paragraph 3.

Description topics

Index figures

An index is the ratio between two values, with the base year equals 100. The use of indices makes it simpler and easier to monitor and compare the evolution of certain quantities (wages, prices) over time.

Monthly contractual wage costs: The index of monthly contractual wage costs indicates the development of labour costs for employers. This includes the cao-pay including special payments plus statutory and contractual employer contributions to pension, early retirement, unemployment, sickness, disability and social funds. Both changes in the collective labour wage and changes in employers' contributions are reflected in the contractual wage costs figures.

Hourly contractual wage costs: The index of hourly contractual wage costs indicates the development of labour costs for employers. This includes the cao-pay including special payments and the development of yearly working hours plus statutory and contractual employer contributions to pension, early retirement, unemployment, sickness, disability and social funds. Both changes in the collective labour wage and changes in employers' contributions are reflected in the contractual wage costs figures.

Contractual working hours: The contractual working hours are the agreed annual working hours of full-time employees.

Year-on-year change

These percentage changes are always related to the current figures and are compared to same period one year earlier. This also holds for the year-on-year change of the first published figures.

Monthly contractual wage costs: The year-on-year change of monthly contractual wage costs indicates the development of labour costs for employers. This includes the cao-pay including special payments plus statutory and contractual employer contributions to pension, early retirement, unemployment, sickness, disability and social funds.
Both changes in the collective labour wage and changes in employers' contributions are reflected in the contractual wage costs figures.

Hourly contractual wage costs: The year-on-year change of hourly contractual wage costs indicates the development of labour costs for employers. This includes the cao-pay including special payments and the development of yearly working hours plus statutory and contractual employer contributions to pension, early retirement, unemployment, sickness, disability and social funds. Both changes in the collective labour wage and changes in employers' contributions are reflected in the contractual wage costs figures.

Contractual working hours: The contractual working hours are the agreed annual working hours of full-time employees.
