Negotiations for a new collective labor agreement at OMO were temporarily postponed because there had to be clarity about the new collective labor agreement for secondary education. That agreement came out on June 22. OMO has its own collective labor agreement, but the national agreements on wages - an increase of 4,75 percent and a one-off payment of 500 euros gross for a full-time job - also apply to all employees at OMO.

To differ

The collective labor agreement of the Brabant school group may deviate on other subjects. The negotiating agreement states that all employees at OMO will now receive a personal budget of 40 hours for a full-time job for the first time. “That is an introduction to this budget,” says AObsector manager Herman Molleman. "Because employees at OMO do not have the 50 hours as previously agreed in the national collective agreement. Instead, they have fewer lessons and deviate from the national collective agreement on that point."

Another point is parental leave. Due to new national legislation, the percentage of paid parental leave (415 hours in total) has been increased to 75 percent. Employees must include a minimum of 9 weeks in the child's first year of life. In contrast to the national collective labor agreement, employees at OMO can also take the remaining paid leave in later years than the child's first year of life at the rate of 75 percent.

Duration

AObsector director Molleman presents the agreement positively to the supporters of OMO. The new collective labor agreement at OMO runs until 1 May 2023.
