Wage increases, pension, and adjustments The specific wage increases for each agreement can be found in the attached files. There is also a higher pension percentage for everyone. These improvements will take effect from April 1, 2027 (you will receive more information). The percentage adjustments vary at certain times across the three sectors, as does the size of the adjustments - see the attachments. They will be implemented in several stages during the period from April 1, 2026, to April 1, 2029 - with the first increase applying to all on April 1, 2026, provided that a majority votes YES. However, it may not be possible to include it in the April salary; if approved, it will most likely be reflected in the May salary (you will receive more information). Other matters included in the result Flexible benefits scheme: A flexible benefits scheme has also been agreed upon, which will take effect from January 1, 2028. This will allow you to choose whether elements of the scheme should be paid out as extra salary, additional pension contributions, saved for future time off, or used for your 6th week of paid holiday, etc. Boundary agreement between 3F and FOA: There will also be a vote on the proposed boundary agreement between 3F and FOA, under which FOA will withdraw from certain areas of the collective agreement. Employees covered by these areas in the future will instead be under a pure 3F agreement within our KLS area. Part-time ruling: New wording has been agreed regarding the outcome of the part-time ruling, where the term “additional work” will be removed from the agreements and replaced with “overtime,” compensated with either a 50% or 100% supplement. Child’s third sick day: In the future, you will have the right to a child’s third sick day. If you are called home from daycare or school, it will count as a neutral day and will not affect your entitlement to paid leave for a child’s 1st, 2nd, or 3rd sick day. Life-phase discussion: The right to a life-phase discussion with your employer has also been agreed. Paid lunch break: A project has been agreed upon to clarify potential challenges for those of you who currently do not have a paid lunch break. Unfortunately, we did not succeed in securing this demand, even though many wanted it. Other improvements: Many other improvements and projects have been agreed upon during this collective agreement period.
