In the collective agreement negotiations SuPer negotiates with the employer about pay and other work conditions. Pay increases have been agreed in both the public and private sectors.

SuPer’s members working in wellbeing services counties and municipalities get a 2.27% general pay increase for wages as of August 1, 2026.

In the private social services sector where the SOSTES agreement applies, pay increases are paid as of 1 September 2026:

• General and pay-scale increase 2.7%
• Minimum pay-scale rates will be increased by 0.5% in all other pay grades, except for pay grade B, care assistants, where the increase will be 0.4%.
• Service-based increments will be harmonised so that:
  • the 5-year service-based increment is at least 3%
  • the 8-year service-based increment is at least 6%
  • the 11-year service-based increment is at least 9.1%.

If you have questions related to your pay, you can reach out to your workplace’s payroll services or your own union representative. You can also contact SuPer’s Employment matters helpline.
