From the protocol agreement to the official collective labour agreement: what does this mean?

In July 2025, a protocol agreement was reached in the service vouchers sector regarding a pay increase and a one-off gross premium for active workers in Flanders and Wallonia. However, this increase was not yet official as no collective labour agreement (CCT) had been signed.

Since then, a CCT has been developed and signed, making the pay increase official and mandatory.

You can find all the information on the protocol agreement in our article: Pay increase in the service vouchers sector.

Pay increase from 1 July 2025

The CCT confirms a gross pay increase of €0.77 per hour for active workers in both the Flemish Region and the Walloon Region.

This increase will take effect from 1 July 2025 and applies to both scale wages and actual wages.

One-off premium in September 2025

The CCT also includes a one-off gross premium, which will be paid with the September salary of the affected workers.

As agreed in the protocol agreement, the pay increase will take effect from 1 March 2025. For the period from March to June 2025, this will not be a gross hourly increase, but rather a one-off gross premium.

This premium is calculated as €0.77 multiplied by the number of hours worked and assimilated, for which a salary must be paid, between 1 March and 30 June 2025.

What about the Brussels region?

The situation in the Brussels-Capital Region remains unchanged. For active workers in Brussels, there will be no pay increase or one-off premium at this time.

What is Securex doing for you?

For active workers in Flanders and Wallonia, the gross pay increase of €0.77 per hour will be applied from 1 July 2025 to both scale wages and actual wages. In September, the gross premium will be calculated and paid alongside the salary of the affected workers.

For active workers in Brussels, there will be no pay increase or gross premium at this time. We will keep you informed as soon as there is a change.
