Good results at the end of the year!
Dear Colleagues
Last summer we’ve been asked by you to talk about a pay rise in Pikett-Duty. After first conversations with those directly affected and after analysing other payment schemes for Pikett-Services in this branch of industry, we entered into pay talks. Swiss immediately understood that there was a demand and a necessity for adjusting pay. After several meetings we reached following results:
- 5 weekdays (Mo – Fr) Pikett Service compensation CHF 50.00 per diem
- 2 weekend days (Sa/Su) Pikett Service compensation CHF 100.00 per diem
- Equal to àTotal CHF 450.00 per week
- Regulations for weekend days applicable for public holidays
- 1 general working hour per diem on Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays may be accumulated and compensated but cannot be paid out
- Hours actually worked and recorded during Pikett-duty will be paid out systematically
This regulation is valid per 1 January 2014. We’ve been able to raise the financial fixing significantly. This was mainly possibly because the majority of you got organized in a union and supported us in our negotiations. This fact definitely didn’t escape Swiss’s notice either.
Taking joint action by giving SEV-GATA your mandate shows very clearly that this was the right decision. Thank you for your confidence and your cooperation.
