Numerous salary indexations planned for January 1, 2025 in Belgium: here is all the information

No less than 14 salary indexations will take place in joint committees managed in particular by the CNE from January 1, 2025. These salary readjustments vary between 0.22% and 4%.

In Belgium, among the sectors devolved to the CNE, employees of 13 joint commissions now know their next salary indexation.

In addition to workers in casinos (CP 217) and the food industry (CP 220) who already knew from November 2024 that their salary was going to be adjusted by 3.57%, here are the 12 other indexations to come:

These indexations are part of an agreement negotiated in each joint committee.

As a reminder, the purchasing power of workers would gradually deteriorate if the amount of their remuneration remains constant while the cost of living increases.

One way to combat this devaluation of money is to link the amount of remuneration to the variation in the price of goods and services: this is indexation.

However, and unlike scale increases resulting from negotiations linked to the inter-professional agreement (AIP) or Non-Market agreements, indexation is not a real salary increase. In fact, the salary which increases with indexation simply makes it possible to continue to maintain an equivalent standard of living when prices have increased.
