The second rate for jobs requiring a vocational qualification will be 10% higher at HUF 70,000 and the third minimum wage rate will be another 10% higher at HUF 77,000 for jobs requiring a degree.

Employers and unions agree 21% increase in minimum wage

Estonia

The minimum wage in Estonia is set to rise to 4,350 kroons (€278) in January 2008 following agreement between the EAKL trade union confederation and the employers. This represents an increase of 21% on the current minimum wage of 3,600 kroons a month. Although this is well ahead of inflation (8.5% in the 12 months to October) it is only just in line with increases in average earnings (20%-22%). This means that the minimum wage will remain at just under 40% of average earnings even after this significant increase.
