Well not sure I agree, obviously it’s a job you perfect or improve at least as time goes on and experience does say a lot but someone doing the same job, should be on the same money. Yes they will be slower but a new person will be, you shouldn’t be penalised financially because of itFor example in Germany all cleaner or Drivers have different pay with same job.More experience,more money.This increase profit,staff attitude,reduce number of accident.
To make that a bit clearer, it’s the same in the Netherlands.
A certain industry (let’s say driving) gets its wages agreed on a national basis. That means that all driving jobs are graded (local, medium distance with odd night away, long distance with 4/5 nights away, etc etc.) also simple delivery, tail lift, crane, box trailer, curtain side, fridge, etc etc.
Each grade has a base minimum wage, according to the amount of work, skill, etc.
Then each grade has levels, which you climb with experience /time served.
Having worked under both systems, I can see the pro and cons of both.
Having had a cheeky look at the current Dutch drivers CAO, and having done a quick back of an envelope calculation, I’ve started looking at jobs in the Netherlands…
