In this collective labor agreement, the unions and the employers' organization MBO-raad have mainly adapted technical matters. This was necessary due to new legislation or from previous agreements. “It is an interim collective agreement”, says AObdirector Henrik de Moel.
The agreement does not contain any agreements about wages, because the wage margin will only be announced in the spring of 2022. The cabinet will then announce this. “Only then can you negotiate about it, so in the next collective labor agreement we will agree a wage increase, whereby we use the entire wage margin from 2022.”
Duration
This is a short-term collective labor agreement that applies from December 1, 2021 to May 1, 2022.
Main points collective labor agreement 2021-2022
- The minimum wage will increase as of December 1, 2021 and will be increased to 1935 euros gross per month (14 euros per hour). This mainly affects job scales 1 to 5 and is an elaboration of previous agreements
- The Administrative Harmonization Act on Vocational Education has been adopted. It makes it easier for MBO institutions to merge with secondary schools and could mean that more colleagues change work location. From now on, employers must therefore put a reasonable weighing of interests on paper. Employers must take into account private circumstances, travel time and working time
- Employees who have to change locations and who do not agree with their employer's considerations can lodge an objection with the Appeals Committee. This committee is expanding with this
- During the term of this collective labor agreement, the unions and the MBO Council will investigate the influence of the Supreme Court's ruling in secondary education on maternity leave and holiday leave for secondary vocational education.
- After the Christmas holidays, members can think about a new collective labor agreement for next year

CLA agreements for training
The collective labor agreement for MBO stipulates that teaching staff is entitled to 'training that is necessary to be able to perform their duties properly'. Those who work in the classroom are entitled to 59 hours of professionalization, and can derive rights from the training budget or plan of the education team. The employer must reimburse the employee for all costs if ordered. The employer must also provide study leave of up to three-quarters of the study load of the course or study program. If it concerns a request from the employee that is in the interest of the institution, 50 to 75 percent of the study costs will be reimbursed. Study leave then depends on 'the interests of the institution' and amounts to a maximum of one day per week.
