Companies no longer have to consult the index of increase in average remuneration with the unions. This is the most important consequence of the abrogation of the Act on the Negotiating System for Determining the Increase in Average Remuneration at Companies as of 1 January 2010. Also, the Tripartite Commission (government, unions, employers’ organizations) will no longer establish such an index at the national level. For the private sector, this index had no significance anyway.
