Bern (awp/ats) – Hairdressers will see their salaries increase. For certain professional categories, the increase will even reach 700 Swiss francs per month over four years. This corresponds to 20%, the Syna union indicated on Friday.
The union welcomes the renewal of the national collective agreement (CCN) for the branch. “The negotiations were not easy, but we obtained substantial improvements in minimum wages,” comments Migmar Dhakyel, branch manager at Syna, quoted in a press release.
For qualified employees who have completed their apprenticeship, minimum salaries will increase by 440 Swiss francs per month, or 5,280 Swiss francs per year. People with a federal professional training certificate (AFP) will benefit from an increase of 340 Swiss francs and employees without qualifications will see their salary increased by 420 Swiss francs per month.
This corresponds to average increases of 11% until 2027. “Slowly but surely, we are lifting the sector out of the low-wage zone,” underlines Migmar Dhakyel, welcoming a “historic” result.
For example, following an apprenticeship, a first-year hairdresser currently earns 3,850 Swiss francs. In 2027, the same hairdresser will be entitled to nearly 4,500 Swiss francs, according to the new CCT, she explains.
The new CCN also provides for paternity leave of 13 days paid at 100%. And all hairdressers will benefit from 2.5 additional days of vacation per year.
