  <p>Work experience shall be assessed to determine the pay grade in accordance with the wage provisions of this Agreement. Seniority based on work experience in the same industry shall be assessed according to verified information on prior work and shall be applicable despite absences from the industry of up to three years. If absence from the industry is longer, work experience and competence shall be assessed when determining the pay grade. Disputes shall be resolved by the administrator in consultation with the union representative. Temporary work shall be totalled together based on the number of days worked or daytime work hours.</p>
  <p>In assessing seniority, the age of 22 is considered equivalent to one year of employment in an industry.</p>
  <p>On rights accrued through work abroad, see Article 12.6.2.</p>
  <p>Skills may be evaluated for wages in a skills based pay scheme where the Icelandic Qualification Framework, among other things, is taken into account. When all competence requirements for a job are met, the qualifications are verified through the issuance of professional certifications of the job in question. Professional certifications of the Icelandic economy are the results of the cooperation between the Education and Training Service Centre (FA), the Confederation of Icelandic Enterprise (SA) and The Icelandic Confederation of Labour (ASÍ). Professional certifications are issued by FA, which certifies that the correct methodology has been applied in carrying out assessments and training.</p>
  <p>This provides a basis for wage setting according to the essence and nature of the job and the employee's qualifications regardless of job title, which are not a part of this system.</p>
  <p>EXAMPLE:</p>
  <p>Job-related factors</p>
  <p>• Role.</p>
  <p>o The criteria within these factors include e.g. the nature of work and position in the workplace, task management, supervision of training and the reception of new employees.</p>
  <p>• Responsibility.</p>
  <p>o Criteria within this factor include e.g. responsibility for tasks, people, machinery, equipment, etc.</p>
  <p>• Independence.</p>
  <p>o The criteria within this factor are, for example, requirements for autonomy in work that may relate to the job as a whole, or to individual aspects of the job.</p>
  <p>Individual factors</p>
  <p>• Experience / knowledge o The criteria within this factor are, for example, additional knowledge, experience and training that is of use in the job.</p>
  <p>• General competence factors.</p>
  <p>o The criteria within this factor include e.g. communication skills, initiative and flexibility.</p>

  <p>Provisions in employment contracts that prohibit employees from working for their employers’ competitors are non-binding if such provisions are broader than is necessary to prevent competition or if they restrict the employees’ freedom of employment in an unfair manner. In either case, such provisions must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis with consideration to all relevant factors. Competition provisions should therefore not be worded too generally.</p>
  <p>In assessing the breadth of an employment contract’s competition provision, particularly in terms of the scope of application and time limits, the following factors must be taken into consideration:</p>
  <p>a. The type of work the employee in question performed, e.g. whether he/she is a key employee, is in direct contact with customers or bears a significant confidentiality obligation. Any knowledge or information the employee may have regarding the company’s operations or its customers must also be considered.</p>
  <p>b. How fast the employee’s knowledge becomes obsolete and whether normal equality among employees is observed.</p>
  <p>c. The type of operation in question and the competitors in the market in which the company operates, and the extent of the employee’s knowledge.</p>
  <p>d. That an employee's freedom of employment is not restricted in an unfair manner.</p>
  <p>e. That the competition provision is specific and concise with a view to protecting certain competitive interests.</p>
  <p>f. The remuneration an employee receives, e.g. how high his/her wages are, also come into play.</p>
  <p>Competition provisions of an employment contract do not apply if an employee resigns without providing sufficient reason.</p>

  <div class="ks-section-content">
  <p>By agreement between the employee and the employer, it is permitted to pay for work performed during overtime periods with time off during daytime work periods. Two types of agreement are authorised:</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">a) Overtime hours may accumulate and an overtime premium may be paid out.</p>
  <p>Example: An employee’s daytime hourly wage is ISK 1000 and the company pays ISK 1800 for overtime. An agreement states that the next eight overtime hours shall be paid such that the overtime premium is paid out (ISK 1800 - 1000 = 800 ISK/hr.) while overtime hours accumulate. When an employee takes time off, he/she keeps his/her daytime wage (ISK 1000) for eight hours. Care must be taken to ensure that the correct amount of overtime is paid if an employee receives only a special extra payment. Special consideration must be taken if an employee has special extra payments that apply only to daytime wages.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">b) Overtime hours may accumulate and be converted into daytime hours.</p>
  <p>Example: If an employee’s overtime premium is 80% (1.0385% of monthly wages for daytime work assuming a division of 173.33), overtime hours worked may be converted into time off during daytime hours in such a way that one hour of overtime is equivalent to 1.8 hours of daytime work (4.44 overtime hours is equivalent to 8 daytime working hours). Attention must be paid to the proportion if an employee receives a special extra payment on daytime wages only.</p>
  <p>An agreement shall be made concerning taking time off and time off shall be scheduled so that it causes as little disruption as possible to company activities.</p>

  <p>It is permitted by agreement within the company and between employees and the company to adapt provisions of the agreement to the needs of the workplace by making exceptions regarding the following elements, provided that an agreement is reached concerning employee remuneration.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">a) Flexible daytime working hours. Daytime working hours may be negotiated between 07:00 AM and 07:00 PM.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">b) Four-day work week. Completing a full daytime work week in four days is authorised where not prohibited by law or other agreements.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">c) Shift work. Taking up shift work with at least two weeks’ notice is permitted. The duration of the shift period must not be shorter than one month at a time.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">d) Overtime premium on daytime work base rate. A portion of the overtime premium may be transferred over to the daytime work base rate.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">e) Leave for overtime. Employees are permitted to accumulate overtime hours and instead take a corresponding number of holiday hours during weekdays outside of the company’s peak period. Overtime hours are accumulated and then paid at the daytime rate but overtime premiums are paid out.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">f) Refreshment breaks. Other arrangements for refreshment breaks than stated in the main collective agreement may be negotiated.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">g) Holidays. A portion of the holiday may be allocated to cut back operations or to close on certain days outside of the company’s peak season.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">h) Incentive pay schemes. An incentive pay scheme may be developed without formal methods analysis where considered suitable by both parties.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">i) Transfer of Thursday holidays. A workplace may agree to transfer contractual days off for Ascension Day and the First Day of Summer, both of which always fall on Thursdays, to another weekday, e.g. Friday or Monday, or to merge these holidays with other employee time off.</p>
  <p>Exceptions to the general rules of the collective agreement beyond the aforementioned parameters are only authorised with the consent of the relevant labour union and employers’ association.</p>

  <p>If an agreement is reached regarding the adaptation of the provisions of the collective agreement to the needs of the company or any other exceptions to the agreed-upon work organisation, an agreement shall also be made regarding the employees’ share of the company’s profit resulting from these changes.</p>
  <p>The employees’ share may come as a reduction of working hours without a corresponding reduction of income, payment of a fixed amount each month or quarter, competence premiums, percentage premium of a fixed ISK amount on top of wages, or in some other form by agreement. The agreement must clearly state what the company’s profit entails as well as how employees are compensated. Both are exceptions to the collective agreement and become void upon termination pursuant to Article 5.9.</p>
  <p>5.9. Entry into effect, scope and duration</p>
  <p>An agreement regarding the company-specific component of the collective agreement must be in writing and submitted to all to whom the agreement is intended to apply to by a secret ballot organised by the relevant employee negotiating committee. An agreement is considered accepted if it receives the support of a majority of votes cast. The relevant labour union must ensure that the agreed-upon exceptions and compensation for them, evaluated comprehensively, comply with the provisions of law and the collective agreement concerning minimum wages and terms of employment. If no notification to the contrary is received within four weeks, the agreement is considered to have been accepted by both parties.</p>
  <p>The company-specific agreement may be made temporarily for a trial period of up to six months and then finalised in light of experience during the trial period. The duration of validity is otherwise indefinite. At the end of the year, either party may request a review. No later than two months after the main collective agreement enters into effect, the parties shall enter into negotiations on the revision and renewal of the agreement on the company-specific component. If no agreement regarding amendments is reached within two months, either party may terminate the company-specific agreement with six months' notice as of the end of the current month. After that time, both the agreed-upon amendments and the employees’ share of profits are void. For termination to be binding, the support of a majority of the employees concerned is required by the same form of voting employed when the agreement entered into effect. If an employer terminates to company-specific agreement, wage increases stipulated in that agreement shall only be retracted to the extent equivalent to the cost increase resulting from the adoption of the previous agreement provisions.</p>

  <p>On the basis of majority approval by vote, employees have the right to negotiations on the shortening of working hours to 36 working hours per week on average concurrent with the elimination of coffee breaks during daytime working hours pursuant to chapter 3 of the collective agreement. Company management may also request negotiations.</p>
  <p>During negotiations, suggestions for the arrangement of breaks will be made with the aim of achieving reciprocal benefits and improving the utilisation of working hours where possible.</p>
  <p>If formal coffee hours are eliminated, profits due to improved utilization of working hours and increased productivity are divided between the employee and the employer, and the employees’ share consists of the additional shortening of active working hours:</p>
  <p>Additional shortening of active working hours:</p>
  <p>If an agreement is reached concerning the elimination of coffee breaks, active working time will be 36 hours per week with no reduction of monthly wages. The shortening of active working hours may be implemented in various ways, e.g.:</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">1. Taking one or more flexible rest breaks from work.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">2. Mid-day break lengthened.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">3. Each workday is shortened, an agreed-upon number of workdays are shortened, or one day of the week is shortened.</p>

The law assumes that the union representative represents the employees.</p>

  <p>The employer shall consult with the union representatives and the relevant union when introducing piecework regarding the minimum period during which such arrangements shall apply. The same applies to the maintenance and amendment of existing agreements. Where there are agreements governing such matters, their provisions should be retained.</p>
  <p>The parties agree that new ideas for a bonus system will be explored with the aim of increasing production value, wages and job satisfaction.</p>
  <p>If employees are contracted for piecework pursuant to Paragraph 2 of Article 14.1, the effective collective agreement from a member union of the SGS to which such work applies or an employment contract submitted to a labour union for approval shall be attached; cf. Article 7 of Act No. 80/1938.</p>
  <p>When formulating, adopting and changing piecework, it is preferable to rely upon approved methods for methods analysis, taking into account the health of the employees.</p>

  <p>Shift work is permitted around the clock every day of the week. Shifts shall be arranged in such a way that there are two consecutive days off after each series of shifts. In this agreement, ‘shifts’ refer to predetermined work arrangements. Shifts shall be introduced with as early notice as possible, but not less than one week in advance. Shifts shall be decided for one month at a time, and a roster shall be made available where it is easily accessible to drivers.</p>
  <p>A shift shall be no longer than 12 hours and may be no shorter than 4 hours. Each shift shall be worked as a continuous whole. Parties who work in regular shifts or work part of their weekly work duties outside of the daytime work period shall receive a shift premium for hours falling outside the normal daytime work hours.</p>

  <p>33,3% premium on the period between 05:00 PM to 12:00 AM Monday to Friday.</p>
  <p>45% premium on the period between 12:00 AM to 08:00 AM and Saturdays and Sundays.</p>

  <p>This provision shall apply to those engaged in road transportation covered by the Regulation on Driving Time and Rest Periods for Drivers (now no. 605/2010) or comparable regulations that may subsequently be adopted.</p>
  <p>Daily minimum rest period.</p>
  <p>Working hours must be arranged such that for a 24-hour period, calculated from the beginning of the workday, employees receive at least 11 consecutive rest hours.</p>
  <p>Three times a week, the continuous rest may be reduced to up to 8 hours and a right to time off provided later.</p>
  <p>In this case, the employee shall receive 11 hours of rest as a direct consequence of the work cycle without any reduction in his/her right to fixed daily wages. When an employee is not given 11 hours' rest immediately following a working cycle of up to 16 hours, the right to time off shall be as follows:</p>
  <p>If an employee is specifically asked to start work before 11 hours of rest are reached, he/she is entitled to a right to time off of 1½ hours (daytime work) for each hour of reduced rest. ½ hour (daytime work) may be paid out of the right to time off by employee request.</p>
  <p>The same applies if an employee works enough hours before a holiday or weekend that he/she does not fulfil 11 hours of rest based on the typical beginning of the work day. In the event that an employee begins work on a holiday or weekend, he/she shall receive overtime rates for the time worked without further additional payments for the same reason.</p>
  <p>Accumulated right to time off pursuant to the above shall be stated on the payslip and granted in half and full days outside of the company’s busy periods of the company, on the condition that the employee has accumulated at least four hours of right to time off. At the end of employment, unused right to time off shall be settled and considered part of the employee’s period of employment.</p>
  <p>Weekly rest period.</p>
  <p>During each seven-day period, the employee shall have at least one day off per week as a part of the daily rest period based on a work week that begins on Monday.</p>
  <p>By agreement with the employee, the weekly day off may be postponed so that the weekly day off is replaced by two consecutive days off after two weeks. Days off may therefore be managed such that they are taken every other weekend (Saturday and Sunday). In exceptional cases, the weekly rest period may be postponed for a longer period such that the employee receives equivalent rest within 14 days.</p>
  <p>If days off should fall on business days due to unforeseen reasons, employees’ rights to fixed wages and shift premiums will not be restricted.</p>
  <p>Where weekly rest is taken outside the station of the vehicle or the driver, the weekly rest may be reduced from 35 hours to 24 hours, provided that a rest period constituting the reduced amount is provided later and continuously before the end of the third week following the week in question.</p>
  <p>If an employee does not receive contractual rest days after 12 days of continuous work away from home or the place of employment, one hour of overtime shall be paid for each working day beyond day 12 until the day off has been granted.</p>

  <p>The fish processing courses total 48 hours and cover all main aspects of the work and profession as determined by the Fish Processing Vocational Education Committee, which is composed of spokespersons of the agreeing parties. Otherwise, the courses listed below shall normally be held when there are processing stoppages and/or limited raw materials for processing. The academic course material is divided into 12 modules for a total of 48 hours and will be based on lectures by teachers/instructors and graphical presentations and some project work by the participants.</p>
  <p>01 Fish processing – catching, processing and marketing</p>
  <p>02 Work facilities and physical exertion 03 Workplace safety 04 Hygiene and bacterial growth 05 Internal supervision in fish processing companies 06 Work life, employees and wage schemes 07 Cooperation and communication in the workplace 08 Multiculturalism 09 First aid 10 Self-development 11 The environment and responsible fishing 12 Quality and handling of food from catching to processing.</p>
  <p>The above courses replace the 40 hours of basic courses and 14 hours of additional courses, but there has been some overlap between courses. After the modules are merged, there will be 12 modules in the new fish processing course with a total of 48 hours of academic instruction. Fish processing personnel and new employees who receive wages according to the 5th wage bracket and have not completed basic and additional courses shall take the new 48- hour fish processing course in full and be transferred to the 9th wage bracket. Employees who have completed basic courses shall receive wages according to the 7th wage bracket, and those who have also completed additional courses shall receive wages according to the 9th wage bracket. The merger of the courses is expected to be fully implemented by 1st December 2015. Until that time, it will be permitted to hold 40 hours of basic courses and 8 hours of additional courses at the same time. The Landsmennt and Starfsafl educational funds support the implementation of fish processing courses, as applicable according to Article 18.4.4.1. The Vocational Education Committee and education providers holding the courses are permitted to evaluate comparable courses taken by fish processing personnel during previous semesters at accredited education providers in order to reduce the number of academic hours in fish processing courses.</p>

  <p>However, if there is a prospect of a prolonged cessation of operations due to a shortage of raw materials that is scheduled to last for at least two weeks but not more than six months, the company is generally permitted to announce a halt to processing with four weeks’ notice by notifying employees, the employment agency, and union. When processing is carried out at the company, it is sufficient to post a public notification and at the same time take steps to inform employees who are not employed at that time. If no processing is being undertaken, each employee to whom the cessation applies shall be notified of the processing stoppage. Remuneration shall not be paid from that time; cf.

  <p>The parties agree to make efforts to increase the knowledge of industrial workers in meat processing regarding the calculations at the foundation of performance-based group compensation schemes in meat processing. In addition, union representatives will be given special instruction on the development of incentive pay schemes. The agreeing parties agree to carry out a thorough survey into the arrangements for any additional and premium payments that occur regularly in meat processing. Such shall be carried out by the parties in good cooperation with those companies concerned throughout the country that shall be included in the total sample and those cross-industry organisations and trade unions that are party to collective agreements with industrial workers, cf. Article 20.11. Any premium payments, such as those for performance-based bonuses and group bonuses, fixed bonuses, and proportional premiums on hourly wages and other payments on top of the wage rate, shall be differentiated. The collection and processing of information according to the above will take place in October 2011. Information will be sought from companies in all regions of the country. The agreeing parties shall subsequently discuss the results and brief meat processing companies on the advantages of performance-based compensation schemes and good practice for the adoption and use of such schemes. Emphasis shall be placed on good consultation with employees and union representatives during the formulation, adoption and modification of bonus schemes. It is correct for employees and company representatives to consult with the parties to the Agreement.</p>
  <p>A survey on the implementation of performance-based compensation schemes shall be repeated in October 2013. [2011]</p>
  <p>Agreement regarding mechanically-controlled work</p>
  <p>Where work and working procedures are controlled by hardware, workers shall be able to take necessary breaks by being relieved or by other means. The employer shall notify employees of the arrangements for such breaks from machine work in a clear manner, such as in the work rules.</p>

  <p>The parties agree that the tasks involved in the position of the cook can vary widely between workplaces.

In such cases, it is desirable that the employer, in consultation with the cook, assess the staffing of the cafeteria on the basis of workload, tasks, number of assistants and/or wages paid.

  <p>Attachment to chapter 22.2 on timed piecework</p>
  <p>Timed piecework in sanitation work – dispute resolution procedure</p>
  <p>In the event of a dispute regarding the measurement of time spent performing sanitation work pursuant to Chapter 22 of the collective wage agreement, the employer is responsible for ensuring that the following procedures shall be followed:</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">1. The employer and the employee jointly review the cleaning area and examine the following factors, taking into account the 130 working pace:</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">a) Is there a written work procedure and does it meet the provisions of the collective wage agreement? Is the work procedure consistent with the tasks assigned to the employee?</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">b) Is the estimated work time in the work procedure in accordance with the employee's agreed working hours pursuant to the employment contract?</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">c) Does the employee follow the work procedure?</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">d) Does the employee perform other tasks not specified in the work procedure?</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">e) Is the quality of work in accordance with the work procedure?</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">f) Does the employee have all the equipment and materials most suitable for sanitation work in the area in question?</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">g) Has the employee received instructions on the use of equipment and materials?</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">h) Has the employee mastered the most appropriate working methods for the cleaning area in question?</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">i) Are the conditions at the workplace unusual, for example, due to ongoing projects or other temporary circumstances which may affect the required working time?</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">j) Are the assumptions for time measurement consistent with the type of premises and its accessibility?</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">k) Other consequential matters, such as whether there have been complaints from the customer, seasonal differences in contaminants, absences of colleagues leading to increased workload for the employee, etc.</p>
  <p>The employer shall make a memorandum stating its and the employee's position on the above factors and deliver a copy to the employee. If the employer and employee reach a joint conclusion regarding a change or no change to the time measurement, said conclusion is recorded in the memorandum.</p>
  <p>If the employer does not respond to an employee's request for negotiations or fails to deliver a memo within two weeks of the request for negotiations, the employee can refer the dispute to his/her union.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">2. If the proceedings pursuant to Paragraph 1 do not lead to the resolution of the dispute, the employee may request that his/her union be involved in the resolution of the dispute. The proceedings pursuant to Paragraph 1 are then repeated with the participation of the spokesperson of the union. If a union chooses to carry out a time measurement, the employer shall provide a diagram of the cleaning area stating the surface area of spaces, the work procedures and other factors relevant to the time measurement. The union shall submit its time measurement to the employer along with the basis on which it was calculated.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">3. If an agreement cannot be reached through a union, it can refer the dispute to a consultative committee of SA and Efling. The committee shall be composed of one spokesperson from SA, one from the employer concerned and two from Efling.</p>
  <p>The role of the committee is to resolve disputes between the parties and may, to this end, request documents from the employer concerned and the trade union.</p>
  <p>Any joint decision of the consultative committee shall be binding on the parties. If the committee fails to reach a unanimous decision, it will seek an impartial professional with knowledge and experience in time measurements in sanitation work to perform a time measurement. The proceedings involving the final resolution of a case are then as follows:</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">a) the professional concerned shall be approved by both bodies; b) the professional concerned shall have recognised time standards that are regularly updated and may also carry out time measurements at the worksite if requested; c) the professional concerned shall measure the time for the work by recording it in a time standard according to the available data and shall provide the estimated time accordingly; d) the cost of the time measurement by the professional shall be equally borne by the employer concerned and the trade union that referred the matter to the committee; e) where a decision pursuant to point (c) is not acceptable to a party to the case (margin 5%), said party can require that a time measurement of the work be carried out at the worksite by the same professional; f) the cost of a time measurement by a professional pursuant to point (e) is entirely borne by the party that requested said measurement. Protocol for job skill analysis in cleaning service</p>
  <p>In a rapidly changing labour market, it is important that job skills are visible and validated. Jobs in the cleaning service have changed considerably and the parties to the agreement agree on the importance of job skill analysis taking place in the cleaning sector.</p>
  <p>Skill analysis is beneficial for employees and it strengthens the competitiveness of companies, providing benefits for both employees and companies. Skill analysis involves preparing job profiles for cleaning jobs in consultation with the Education and Training Service Centre (FA), where job skill criteria are analysed using skill analysis, assessment lists are developed for the jobs and subsequently skills are confirmed through the issuance of professional certification.</p>
  <p>During the skill analysis, and while the parties to the agreement have not reached a different agreement, cleaning service will be put into wage category 8 in Eflings’ wage table.</p>
  <p>Protocol on tender procedures in the cleaning sector:</p>
  <p>The Confederation of Icelandic Enterprise, on behalf of companies in the cleaning sector, and Efling Trade Union and the Federation of General and Special Workers (SGS), declare the following:</p>
  <p>Call for tenders in the cleaning service sector are a large and ever growing part in the activities of companies and employees in the cleaning service sector. When public entities and big companies call for tenders, they are aimed at accepting the lowest tender. Most of the calls for tenders also do not include any cost estimate. This approach to tendering procedures of services as important as cleaning services is contrary to the common objective of procurement of services for a fair price. The above parties agree that this tendering procedure is unfair in respect of the working conditions of cleaners and is contrary to the interests of companies in the sector.</p>
  <p>The parties have agreed to set up a working group tasked with analysing the current circumstances of tendering procedures in the cleaning sector, formulating preferred tendering procedures and holding meetings with the main agents for tenders to ensure that calls for tenders take greater account of skills and quality.</p>
  <p>The working group shall be composed of two members from each party and shall have completed creating the preferred tendering procedures no later then by 1st October 2024. Meetings with main agents for tenders shall have been held no later then by 1st December 2024. When this work has been finished, the parties shall decide how the conclusions of the group are to be presented and published.

  <p>The basic unit for the calculation of cleaning performance is cleaned square metres of floor per unit of time (m2/h). This includes all cleaning in the cleaning area according to the work procedures.</p>
  <p>EXAMPLE:</p>
  <p>a. The floor area in the area is 600 m2. It is entirely cleaned 3 days a week and the time for the work on each of these 3 days is Y hours.</p>
  <p>The performance for this area is 600/Y = X m2 per hour.</p>
  <p>b. The floor area in the area is 655 m2, 450 m2 is cleaned on 5 days a week, while 205 m2 is cleaned on 3 days a week. The total time for the area is Y hours.</p>
  <p>The performance for this area is ((450x5)+(205x3))/Y = X m2 per hour.</p>

  <p>Attachment II</p>
  <p>Paid time for the cleaning area based on units of time (standard hours) is calculated using whole hours or a fraction thereof rounded to the nearest quarter of an hour. If the total time for a cleaning area is 5 minutes higher than that of the previous quarter of an hour, it is raised upwards, but if it is lower, the next quarter of an hour is reduced.</p>

  <p>Introduction – main content The main objective of this agreement is to contribute to reducing inflation and lowering interest rates, which are of great interest to households and businesses. Furthermore, the aim of the agreement is to increase the purchasing power of workers, create predictability in the economy, reduce inflationary expectations and strengthen the competitiveness of the Icelandic economy. This agreement also provides for a productivity growth premium to all workers, based on measured productivity, and for wage rate increases on the wage rates in the collective agreements.</p>

  <p>To strengthen the criteria and objectives of the collective wage agreements, a special wage and conditions committee will take up work immediately. The committee shall consist of four representatives nominated by SA and four representatives nominated by the negotiations committees of the member associations of ASÍ that jointly negotiated the conditions of the agreement. The task of the committee shall be to monitor the progress of economic factors that may affect the objectives of the agreement, to formally assess the criteria of the collective agreement and, where appropriate, to negotiate responses to a breach of conditions that will strengthen the criteria of the agreement and help it remain in force. The formal assessment of the conditions for agreement will take place in September 2025 and September 2026. A position on the following conditions shall be taken in September 2025:</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">a) It is a condition that the 12-month inflation rate in August 2025 will not exceed 4.95%. However, this condition on pricing levels is considered to be fulfilled if inflation in the 6-month period from March to August 2025 will be 4.7% or lower based on the annual rate.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">b) It is a condition that the legislative amendments promised and set out in the Government's declaration dated: 7th March 2024, have been achieved. A position on the following conditions shall be taken in September 2026: It is a condition that the 12-month inflation in August 2026 will not exceed 4.7%. However, this condition on pricing levels is considered to be fulfilled if inflation in the 6-month period from March to August 2026 will be 4.4% or lower based on the annual rate. Response to breach of conditions The wage and conditions committee shall, in deciding how to respond to deviations from contractual objectives, look at developments in economic indicators during the period of the agreement. The response should have a positive impact on the progress of the targets set by the Contracting Parties on reducing inflation, inflationary expectations, lowering key interest rates, improving workers' circumstances and improving the competitiveness of the Icelandic economy. The Committee shall evaluate the state of the economy in a comprehensive way. The Committee may decide that wage rate increases in accordance with this Agreement may be replaced by another equally valuable response better suited to the circumstances at any given time. If there is no agreement on a response to a breach of conditions, the party that does not wish for the agreement to remain in force shall notify of the following: For review in September 2025. Before 16:00 hrs. on 8th October 2025 and the agreement expires on 31st October 2025. For review in September 2026. Before 16:00 hrs. on 8th October 2026 and the agreement expires on 31st October 2026. Wage rate increases If the collective agreements remain in force, the Wage and Conditions Committee shall, in March 2025, 2026 and 2027, rule on a special wage rate increase, if Statistics Iceland's wage index for the general labour market shows that wages have increased more than the lowest wage rate. The relative increase of that index shall be compared to the relative increase of wage bracket no. 4 in the collective wage agreements of SGS/Efling during the same period. The wage rate increase is calculated as the full percentage of the excess increase of the above-mentioned wage rate, and all minimum wage rates of the parties' collective agreements increase by that percentage as of 1st April each year.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">a) In March 2025, the wage increase and the development of the wage index in the period November 2023 – November 2024 are to be considered.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">b) In March 2026, the wage increase and the development of the wage index in the period November 2024 – November 2025 are to be considered.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">c) In March 2027, the wage increase and the development of the wage index in the period November 2025 – November 2026 are to be considered. In the event of a simultaneous payment of the productivity growth premium and a wage rate increase according to this collective agreement, the minimum wage rates in collective agreements shall get the raise that is higher each time. Productivity growth premium If productivity increases by more than 2% in 2025 and 2026, workers will get a share of this value increase in the form of a special productivity growth premium, subject to the fulfilment of certain criteria.</p>
  <p>Productivity growth premium and payments for the premium are explained in more detail in an attachment to this agreement.</p>

  <p>This agreement shall be in effect from 1st February, 2024 to 1stFebruary, 2028 and shall thereafter expire without being specifically terminated.</p>
  <p>Reykjavik,7th March, 2024.</p>
  <p>Protocols, declarations, agreements and attachments</p>
  <p>Protocol on Job Titles</p>
  <p>The collective agreement incorporates new job titles and wage category rankings for certain jobs in Chapter 1, or the job titles are arranged in a special section of the main collective agreement or special agreements between Efling and SA. This does not entail a change to the fact that unions other than Efling have negotiating rights and contractual provisions for these jobs. [2024]</p>
  <p>Protocol on the review of food allowance per diem payments</p>
  <p>Food allowance varies between chapters in the main collective agreement of Efling and the criteria, definitions and terms vary in different ways. When updating collective agreements, the parties will coordinate rules on payment. [2024]</p>
  <p>Protocol on a new skills based pay scheme</p>
  <p>The parties agree to establish a group (two representatives from SA and two from Efling) that hold meetings at least four times a year to follow up on the action plan and assess the status of the project regularly in collaboration with the Education and Training Service Centre (FA).</p>
  <p>Plan of Action</p>
  <p>The parties agree to increase the number of job profiles in consultation with the Education and Training Service Centre (FA), where job skill criteria are analysed using skill analysis, assessment lists are developed for the jobs and subsequently skills are confirmed through the issuance of professional certification.</p>
  <p>The parties agree on the preparation of promotional material and guidance for companies and employees on the new skills based pay scheme. The parties work jointly on the preparation of the promotional material in collaboration with the Education and Training Service Centre (FA). [2024]</p>
  <p>Protocol on the Effects of negative prescription</p>
  <p>If an employee's terms and conditions, comprehensively assessed, are lesser than the minimum terms and conditions according to the collective agreement, their demand for correction, if it occurs during the period of employment or within 6 months after the termination of employment, shall not lapse due to negative prescription, but lapse according to the general rules. [2024]</p>
  <p>Protocol on interpretation services In line with the increased number of foreign employees on the Icelandic labour market, the agreeing parties shall cooperate in defining the need for interpretation services and, where appropriate, prepare guidelines for companies on the matter. [2019]</p>
  <p>Protocol on the protection of those performing commissions of trust for labour unions Agreeing parties agree that employees who perform commissions of trust for their labour union by sitting on the board, negotiating committee or council of representatives, and are in communication with their employer for their work as a representative, shall not be placed at a disadvantage due to their work as a representative cf. Article 4 of the Act on Trade Unions and Industrial Disputes No. 80/1938. [2019]</p>
  <p>Protocol on rental property in connection with an employment contract When an employer rents out accommodation to an employee in connection with employment, the provisions of Rent Act No. 36/1994 apply to the conclusion and content of leases.</p>
  <p>A rental contract under the Rent Act shall be in writing and meet the requirements of Chapter II of the Rent Act, including on the rental cost, whether the contract is temporary or indefinite and what services are included in the rent.</p>
  <p>This shall aim to ensure that employees do not pay higher rent than is generally the case and that the rental cost is fair and reasonable for both parties. In assessing whether the rental cost is fair and reasonable, the size, location and condition of the property shall be taken into account as well as the rental cost according to registered rental contracts in the same area.</p>
  <p>Accommodation shall be intended for residence and meet the requirements regarding facilities and health and safety.</p>
  <p>In the event of an agreement whereby an employee does not pay rent for housing, the employee’s wages must nevertheless be no lower than the minimum stated in the collective agreement pursuant to Article 1 of Act No. 55/1980.</p>
  <p>This provision applies while the employee is on the payroll of the respective employer. [2019] Protocol on competency assessment Parties agree on the importance of the workplace as a place of learning. The developments and challenges in work in the near future, incl. those of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, further increase the importance of this fact. The economic sector and wage earners must work in unison to be able to meet these changes and thus strengthen the nation’s competitiveness and social stability. Evaluating the skills, experience and informal learning that an employee acquires in the workplace is an important vested interest issue, as it strengthens the position of those working in the labour market, the professional classes, companies and the nation in general in terms of knowledge level and progress.</p>
  <p>Purposeful development and cultivation of competency assessment is a fundamental prerequisite for achieving these objectives, and the parties agree to place a strong emphasis on developing competency assessment during the term of the agreement. This applies to competency assessment at work as well as learning in the formal educational system.</p>
  <p>Assessing competency can be an impetus for people in the labour market of various sectors to develop professionally, complete formal education and to further advance their competency [2019].</p>
  <p>Protocol on pay schemes The agreeing parties aim to implement a new pay scheme as a part of the collective agreement. Its main objective is for decisions on wages within companies to be objective and flexible. The pay scheme will be an option for implementation at workplaces as an authorised exception under Chapter 5 of the collective agreements. The provisions of Chapter 5 apply in all respects to the adoption of a new pay scheme in companies. The relevant labour union or labour unions must ensure that agreed exceptions and remuneration for them, evaluated as a whole, comply with the provisions of law and the collectives agreements on minimum wages and terms of employment, cf. the provisions thereof in Chapter 5.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">1. Basis</p>
  <p>It is the common understanding of the agreeing parties that the efficient operation of companies is a prerequisite for good terms of employment for employees and reasonable working hours. Continuous reforms contributing to increased productivity and efficiency ensure companies’ operation and competitiveness. One aspect of competitiveness is that companies’ wage setting relates to measurable performance factors in a pay scheme developed in cooperation between parties of the collective agreement.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">2. Objectives</p>
  <p>The aim of a new pay scheme is to objectively categorize jobs, increase the number of factors considered when setting wages for jobs and to provide clear criteria for wage setting and wage development of individual employees. With the new wage system, employees and employers have a powerful tool for promoting increased education and professional development, transparency and job satisfaction. At the same time, there will be clearer incentives for employees to develop professionally.</p>
  <p>Successful development and implementation of a new pay scheme can contribute to increased vocational training and professional development as well as transparency in the wage structure. This involves purposefully defining how the assessment of jobs, roles, skills, responsibility and performance creates a foundation for wage setting and additional benefits for employees and companies.</p>
  <p>The Act on the Equal States and Rights of Women and Men No. 10/2008 requires that the pay scheme and wage setting of companies of 25 employees or more are based on objective and transparent metrics. In accordance with the Act, companies shall implement an equal pay standard during the 2019-2022 period and a new pay scheme will facilitate that implementation. It is preferred that smaller companies base their pay scheme upon comparable criteria.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">3. The project</p>
  <p>The project consists in developing a simple and accessible pay scheme that relies on few but clear factors that can be used by companies of all sizes and types. In order to base the pay scheme on appropriate metrics, it must reflect companies’ varying needs. The pay scheme thus does not include a definitive definition of metrics or weighting of individual factors, but rather serves as a framework that staff and management can jointly develop and adapt to the needs of each workplace according to the authority vested in the collective agreements.</p>
  <p>The new pay scheme is intended to support and parallel other developments in the labour market and in the education system. Among other things, this applies to competency assessments at work and the implementation of an equal pay certification. Further development of the system and the definition of criteria will take into account, among other things, the Icelandic Qualification Framework. The starting point is to create a basis for wage setting according to the nature of the job and the employee’s qualifications regardless of job title, which will not be a part of this system.</p>
  <p>The system is based on five main factors, each of which contains more detailed criteria. The factors relate to both the job and the individual. On the basis of these factors and the criteria within them, a foundation is created for wage setting and the factors and criteria within each factor. The categories and examples of possible stages in each category are:</p>
  <p>Job-related factors</p>
  <p>• Role. The criteria within these factors include e.g. the nature of work and position in the workplace, task management, supervision of training and the reception of new employees. • Responsibility. Responsibility for projects, people, machines, devices, etc. • Independence. A requirement for autonomy in work, which may relate to the job as a whole or individual aspects.</p>
  <p>Individual factors</p>
  <p>• Experience and knowledge. Additional knowledge, experience and training that is of use in the job. General competence factors such as communication skills, initiative and flexibility. • General competence factors. Communication skills, initiative, flexibility etc.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">4. Implementation plan</p>
  <p>After this collective agreement enters into effect, the parties will begin to work jointly on the development of a new pay scheme, which shall be completed by the end of 2019.</p>
  <p>The agreeing parties shall appoint a task force consisting of three spokespersons for the labour unions, i.e. one from each of the following: SGS, VR and skilled tradesmen’s unions, and three spokespersons from the Federation of Icelandic Employers. The task force is responsible for implementing the project and completing it within the required time. Among other things, this includes the authorisation to temporarily hire a specialist.</p>
  <p>The work involves the elaboration of the factors and criteria that create a new pay scheme with respect to the basis set forth above. This includes, among other things, a more precise clarification of the criteria and how they directly relate to the setting of wages.</p>
  <p>Upon completion of the development of the pay scheme, a second phase of creating promotional material and doing promotional work shall begin in the first half of 2020 [2019].</p>
  <p>Protocol on flexible retirement</p>
  <p>Agreeing parties agree on the importance that employees have the option of certain flexibility when it comes to retirement due to age. The needs and conditions of people in the labour market vary, and with an increasing life expectancy and improved health status, it is common for people to maintain a full capacity for work and wish to participate in the labour market beyond the retirement age. Flexibility in retirement may include a reduced employment rate during the last years of working life as well as permission to continue working beyond retirement age for those who possess full working capacity and the desire to remain active in the labour market. It is important to take into account the situation of each person.</p>
  <p>Flexible retirement age has been a matter of consideration by a committee whose function is to review the Social Security Act, and to which representatives of the labour market are party. The committee agrees that legislation should promote increased individual flexibility and has, among other things, discussed increasing retirement age to 70 years in stages, authorising the deferral of taking out pension until the age of 80 instead of 72, at an increased monthly pension for the individual in question.</p>
  <p>In recent decades, life expectancy and the average life span have increased around the world. More and more people are living longer and are more healthy in their older years. This trend calls for a reassessment of retirement age. For these reasons, most of our neighbouring countries have raised the retirement age.</p>
  <p>The value of work for people's mental and physical well-being is unequivocal and the understanding of this fact is increasing. The labour contribution of older employees is important and is growing, as the natural increase in number of employees on the labour market drops due to changing age distribution. [2015] Protocol on negotiations regarding organisation of working hours The parties to the collective agreement aim to change the definitions of working hours so that it approaches the arrangement of working time that is most common in the Nordic countries. The main objective of the changes is to promote a family-friendly labour market with shorter total working hours, which can also entail the rationalisation and simplification of wage schemes across the labour market.</p>
  <p>Discussions on amending the work time provisions of collective wage agreements will include, for example, the introduction of 'active working hours' and the review of peak periods and premium payments for work outside the daytime work period.</p>
  <p>Premium payments for work outside a defined daytime work period are higher in Iceland than generally in the Nordic countries, with the effect, for example, that daytime wages constitute a lower proportion of total wages.</p>
  <p>The main objective of the changes will be to increase the proportion of total wages made up by daytime wages and encourage discussion in workplaces regarding improved organisation of working hours and increased productivity. This will bring the Icelandic labour market closer to the arrangements known widely across the Nordic countries. Improved organisation can also encourage shorter working hours and thus a more family-friendly labour market. Changes to this effect improve Iceland's position in international comparisons, both in terms of working hours and basic wages, and can thus strengthen Iceland's competitiveness for employees.</p>
  <p>Wage rates in collective wage agreements rise against changes in working hours, and the minimum wage for individual jobs may be subject to the changes if there is a particular need to respond to the effects of the changed premium payments. However, the minimum income insurance may not increase.</p>
  <p>The agreeing parties will appoint working groups before the end of June 2015 to work on preparations for changes to the working time provisions in collective wage agreements. A specific dialogue plan shall be drawn up to organise the discussions, cf. Article 23 of the Act on Trade Unions and Industrial Disputes. The aim is for an agreement to be in place by October 2016 which will be put to a vote in November 2016. Changes in working hours and wages would therefore simultaneously take effect on 1st May 2017. From the beginning of the work, the parties will seek the help of a state mediation officer for the supervision.</p>
  <p>Voting will be negotiated separately, but it is assumed that a simple majority will be needed for the agreement to enter into force. [2015]</p>
  <p>Protocol Protocol on assessment of education for wages</p>
  <p>The agreeing parties will work to assess education/competency for wages in two steps, on the basis of competency analysis for jobs. Both parties will be involved in developing a plan for analysis of jobs, in consultation with the Education and Training Service Centre, in which a job’s competency factors are set in a syllabus.</p>
  <p>A committee consisting of members of the agreeing parties, three from ASÍ and three from SA, will begin work no later than autumn of 2015. Work will continue on the basis of the proposals formulated by the agreeing parties in anticipation of collective agreements. Courses and competency assessment are scheduled to launch on the basis of this work in autumn of 2016.</p>
  <p>Prior to October 1, 2016, it shall be made clear how competencies assessed for work are to be remunerated. [2015]</p>
  <p>Protocol on continuous employment and accrued rights</p>
  <p>In the understanding of collective agreements, ‘continuous employment’ refers to the employee having been in a continuous employment relationship regardless of whether or not he/she has temporarily fallen off the payroll. However, a period without payment is not considered part of the employment period for purposes of accrual of rights if the law or collective agreements do not stipulate otherwise, cf. e.g. statutory maternity/paternity leave. [2015]</p>
  <p>Protocol on tooth damage due to work accidents</p>
  <p>The parties will jointly request that insurance companies amend insurance conditions for employees in such a way that they cover necessary costs beyond contributions under the Social Security Act for a broken tooth due to a work accident. The proviso is otherwise covered under the Social Security Act and terms of insurance companies. [2015]</p>
  <p>Protocol on the review of holiday allowance legislation</p>
  <p>During the term of the Agreement, the parties will jointly request that the government review holiday allowance legislation that holiday laws be subject to review with a view to clearly stipulating the rights and obligations of the parties. [2015]</p>
  <p>Declaration on pension funds</p>
  <p>The Confederation of Icelandic Enterprises and the Icelandic Confederation of Labour agree to continue working on the equalisation of pension rights on the basis of the work that has been carried out by a joint committee of the entire labour market. This work has been delayed, for example, by the fact that no agreement has been reached between the state and civil servants regarding the past problems in the public pension system, and therefore there were no grounds for finalising negotiations between the parties on the basis of their declaration from 5th May 2011. The parties agree that the contents of the declaration shall remain valid and that work will be done on its progress during the period of the agreement. [2015]</p>
  <p>Declaration on pension funds</p>
  <p>The Parties agree to continue the work of standardising pension rights in the labour market. This declaration is intended to facilitate agreement on the main aspects of pensions. The main objective is that all pension funds in the labour market operate on a sustainable basis and that pension rights advance in accordance with the needs for acceptable pensions. The agreeing parties will work on the premise that contributions to pension funds in the private sector need to be increased from 12% to 15.5% during the years 2014-2020.</p>
  <p>The negotiations between the agreeing parties will cover how the increase in contributions will be implemented, including the phasing and the division of contributions between employers and employees premised on standardisation for the labour market as a whole. Different pay schemes, such as those on fishing vessels, will be taken into account.</p>
  <p>The agreeing parties aim for the outcome of this work to come to fruition by the end of 2012 and for discussions on the revision of collective agreements to begin at the beginning of 2013. This declaration includes a mandate to the executive board of the Confederation of Icelandic Enterprises and the negotiating committees of the member organizations of ASÍ to finalise the implementation of an increase in contributions that may take effect in 2014. [2011]</p>
  <p>Protocol on general wage increases</p>
  <p>The agreed general wage increase in the collective agreements of ASÍ and SA’s affiliate unions refers to the minimum increase of the regular wages an employee earns on the day in which the increase pursuant to the collective agreement is to come into effect, regardless of the employee in question’s wages.</p>
  <p>It is not permitted to reduce or cancel overpayments by refusing to pay out general wage increases. Overpayments shall therefore only be reduced or cancelled in compliance with the provisions of the collective agreement. However, this provision does not prevent companies from being able to, through wage decisions, accelerate increases through special decisions and then, by predictable and predetermined means, taking into account unimplemented general increases over the next 12 months. It must be made clear in advance to employees by verifiable means that this is an expedited general wage increase pursuant to the collective agreement. [2011]</p>
  <p>Protocol on the definition of shifts</p>
  <p>The association agrees to map out and aim for a review of the working hours section of the collective wage agreements of member organizations of ASÍ and SA, which covers shifts, work outside of the daytime work period and variable daytime work period, with standardisation and increased clarity as a guiding principle. [2011]</p>
  <p>Protocol on sickness and rehabilitation matters</p>
  <p>The agreeing parties resolve to review the structure of preventative health care services and occupational health and safety.</p>
  <p>The objective is to encourage response to illness in a predictable manner and make it so that an employee who falls ill is offered the appropriate resources as soon as possible. This includes, among other things, increased flexibility in the labour market to ensure that persons who fall ill or sustain injury and those in active vocational rehabilitation have the option of returning to work to the extent that their ability to work allows at any given time.</p>
  <p>It is clear that this objective is only attainable if there is mutual trust between employers and employees in arrangements for notification of illness, employees’ return after illness, preventative health care services in companies, etc.</p>
  <p>The agreeing parties participate in a steering committee headed by VIRK, whose aim is to work towards the objectives stated above.</p>
  <p>Special attention will be given to a development project on prevention and vocational rehabilitation, to be launched by VIRK. The agreeing parties will use the experience and knowledge obtained from this project in its work.</p>
  <p>The agreeing parties will support those working on the development project and advise them on matters of opinion that may arise during the project that pertain to rights and obligations in the labour market under the law and the collective agreement. [2011]</p>
  <p>Protocol on gender equality</p>
  <p>It is in the interests of workers and companies to have equal opportunities for women and men to work, career development and wages. The parties will therefore cooperate on the following projects during the agreement period.</p>
  <p>• Complete a standard on the implementation of the wage equality policy and subsequently continue the preparation of a standard on equal opportunities for women for work and career development. The work on the standard shall be carried out in collaboration with Icelandic Standards and the Ministry of Welfare. The aim is to publish the standard before the end of the agreement period.</p>
  <p>• Continue collaboration with Statistics Iceland on research on wage formation for women and men based on the institute's database, with the aim of carrying out one study during the agreement period.</p>
  <p>• Prepare joint promotional and educational material for workers and companies on equality in the labour market during the agreement period.</p>
  <p>• Encourage company managers to consider the formulation of family policy within companies with the aim of increasing flexibility in the arrangement of work and working hours so as to take into account both employees' family circumstances and the needs of the economy. [2011]</p>
  <p>Protocol on temporary work agencies</p>
  <p>The parties agree that, in adopting the temporary work agency directive, it will be emphasised that in the Icelandic labour market, the principle is that employees are hired directly by the employer for an indefinite period, and in Iceland, there is a certain flexibility in recruitment that intends to make it easier for companies to respond to fluctuations in their activity.</p>
  <p>Additionally, pursuant to the Act on Working Terms and Pension Rights No. 55/1980, minimum wage terms are determined in collective wage agreements. Furthermore, the principle of the directive on equal treatment will be enacted with the aim that conditions of employment for employees from temporary work agencies shall, during the period in question, be at least those that would have applied if the employees had been recruited directly to the company concerned to carry out the same work. It will refer to the actual remuneration for companies using the agencies, how they are determined and how they are paid. [2011]</p>
  <p>Declaration Statement by ASÍ and SA on the implementation of calls for tender</p>
  <p>It is important for the Icelandic economy that economic activity and the labour market operate in accordance with clear and transparent laws and regulations and ensure natural and healthy competition. Tendering for construction projects is an important part of industrial activity. It is therefore important that specifications for construction projects, assessment of the suitability of tenderers, awarding of contracts and provisions on the return of payments to all parties performing tender work are better prepared and presented in a more specific manner than is currently the case.</p>
  <p>The government's declaration regarding the dialogue between parties on the labour market states, for example, on the implementation of calls for tender:</p>
  <p>‘It will be examined what changes need to be made to the Public Procurement Act, and, as necessary, other laws in order to strengthen the status and rights of workers working for companies in the contract market and at the same time level the competitive position of companies. The aim shall be that the government task force, with the participation of spokespersons, municipalities, ASÍ and SA, submit proposals on the above issues no later than June 2011 and that proposals on preferable legislative amendments can be submitted to the Althingi at the beginning of the autumn assembly. The government will also, where appropriate, implement the findings of the task force in the state's ownership policy.’</p>
  <p>SA and ASÍ agree that the further defined tasks of the task force include the following:</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">1. Consider and submit a proposal for a law on co-liability/chain liability of contractors/clients for employee salaries and the taxes of contractors and subcontractors. Particular attention shall be paid to the laws of neighbouring countries on the matter.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">2. Consider how to further secure workers' rights through amendments to laws governing public tenders and the eligibility of tenderers.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">3. Consider how the tender conditions in public service procurement may incorporate the requirements imposed on the tenderer by the client concerning working arrangements based on criteria governed by collective wage agreements (such as time-based clauses and measurements) in order to create equality among tenderers and to show the extent and nature of the work.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">4. Consider how to transpose Article 15.1 of the standard IST 30 into General Act on the Execution of Tenders.</p>
  <p>In addition, SA and ASÍ have agreed on a uniform assessment by the client of the eligibility of tenderers when tenders are made (see Attachment 1 to the agreement between SA and the negotiating committee of ASÍ). Emphasis is placed on the assessment covering both the public and the general market and extending to both main contractors and subcontractors. Emphasis is also placed on the assessment obtaining recognized status in the law or regulation. When evaluating bidders, by principle, employees shall have a permanent employment relationship.</p>
  <p>SA and ASÍ have also agreed on further rules on how to prepare tender documents pursuant to Articles 42 to 45 of Act No. 84/2007 on public procurement, award contracts pursuant to Articles 73 and 77 of Act No. 84/2007, and return payments pursuant to the standard IST30:2003, paragraph 31.5 (see Attachment 2 to the Agreement between SA and the negotiating committee of ASÍ). [2011]</p>
  <p>Protocol Protocol on the continuing education for drivers and machine operators</p>
  <p>It is the common understanding of the agreeing parties that Article 16.8 on courses in the main collective wage agreement applies to all training that a driver or machine operator must attend in order to keep his/her license. The same applies to special collective agreements which constitute a part of this main collective wage agreement. The exception is Chapter 17 on PCV drivers where a special course premium is paid. [2011]</p>
  <p>Protocol on the renewal of driving licenses</p>
  <p>The agreeing parties shall each appoint two members to a committee with the task of coordinating the policies of the parties to the Contract regarding the renewal of driving licenses and of following up on this policy with respect to the public institutions (ministries and the Transport Authority) as well as the companies (FA and driving schools) responsible for the refresher training. [2011] Agreement between SA and ASÍ on information and consultation in companies</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">1. Introduction</p>
  <p>The Confederation of Icelandic Enterprises and the Icelandic Confederation of Labour have, with reference to Act No. 151/2006 on Information and Consultation in Companies, agreed on the following rules on the arrangements for disclosure and consultation within companies for the representation and calculation of the number of employees.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">2. Calculation of the number of employees</p>
  <p>The Act on Information and Consultation in Companies applies to companies that normally employ at least 50 employees from the domestic labour market. The average number the employees in the preceding calendar year shall be used to calculate the number of employees. However, if the average number of employees was less than 50 in the preceding calendar year, the information and consultation obligations pursuant to this Agreement shall be effective if the average number of employees exceeds 70 in the last four months.</p>
  <p>If the average number of employees was 50 or above in the preceding calendar year, the information and consultation obligations pursuant to this Agreement shall be waived if the average number of employees is under 40 in the last four months.</p>
  <p>Relief for summer holidays, sickness or other absences do not affect the calculation of the number of employees.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">3. Consultative committee 3.1. In the companies governed by this Agreement, there shall be a functioning consultative committee of the company and employees. It shall be composed of two spokespersons of the employer and two spokespersons of the employees. 3.2. Union representatives within a company shall select spokespersons for the consultative committee from among their group. Employees may, however, request that the employees' spokespersons on the consultative committee be elected from among the employees, provided that at least one-fifth of the employees submit a request to this effect.</p>
  <p>If there is no union representative in a company, employees shall elect their spokespersons to the consultative committee from among themselves. If there is one union representative in a company, employees shall elect the other spokesman to the consultative committee from among themselves. Employees who are not represented by the union representative have a right to vote.</p>
  <p>The tenure shall last two years from the date of the announcement of the election, unless it has been decided otherwise.</p>
  <p>When the union representatives are elected to the consultative committee, each union representative shall have one vote.</p>
  <p>In the event of an election among employees, the employer must provide a list of employees and provide other necessary assistance with the preparation of ballot papers and with the election.</p>
  <p>‘Union representatives’ refers to those union representatives who operate on the basis of Act No. 80/1938 and the provisions of the collective wage agreements regarding union representatives. Other representatives on the consultative committee shall enjoy the same protections as union representatives in respect to their work on the consultative committee. 3.3. The provision of information pursuant to the Act on Information and</p>
  <p>Consultation in Companies shall take place within the consultative committee, unless agreement on other practices has been made within the joint committee. 3.4. Consultation with employees pursuant to the Act on Information and</p>
  <p>Consultation in Companies shall take place within the consultative committee, unless agreement on another implementation has been made within the consultative committee. 3.5. The consultative committee shall establish rules of procedure for itself. 3.6. The employers' spokespersons shall be responsible for convening the consultative committee, but the committee shall be expected to convene at least twice a year, unless otherwise agreed by the committee. 3.7. The company's information and consultation obligations will come into effect when union representatives or, as appropriate, employees have elected spokespersons to the consultative committee according to the above rules and have notified the company of the election.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">4. Enterprise groups</p>
  <p>In groups of enterprises with independent subsidiaries, by agreement of the consultative committees of the subsidiaries concerned, a common consultative committee may be established at the level of the parent company, which is composed of spokespersons of the consultative committees of the subsidiaries.</p>
  <p>Therein, matters of common interest to the subsidiaries may be discussed.</p>
  <p>In addition, under exceptional circumstances, a consultative committee at the level of the parent company may assume the role of the consultative committees of the individual subsidiaries.</p>
  <p>The common consultative committee at the level of the parent company shall be abolished if either party, the employees' spokespersons on the committee or the company's spokespersons on the committee demand such by giving at least one month's notice.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">5. ASÍ and SA Consultative Committee</p>
  <p>The Consultative Committee, composed of two spokespersons of each party to the Agreement, shall discuss the implementation of the Agreement and the execution and interpretation of the individual provisions to the extent necessary.</p>
  <p>In the event of a disagreement regarding the interpretation of the Agreement, the parties concerned may refer it to the Committee, which shall then endeavour to reach a settlement. [2008] Protocol on the revision of the chapter regarding union representatives in collective agreements</p>
  <p>The parties agree to revise the provisions on union representative training in collective agreements during the agreement period due to the increased and changing tasks of union representatives. [2008]</p>
  <p>Protocol on notifying a company physician/occupational health and safety service provider</p>
  <p>The agreeing parties believe that the development of preventative health care services and occupational health and safety are important for the labour market. It is important to guide the development of services in this field in a positive direction so that it produces results for employees and companies. The agreeing parties will appoint a negotiating committee whose role is to reach agreement on more detailed arrangements regarding reporting illness to a company physician/occupational health and safety service provider. The negotiating committee shall discuss, among other things, the following points:</p>
  <p>- The criteria that a company physician/occupational health and safety service provider must satisfy.</p>
  <p>- Arrangements for employees to notify an occupational health and safety service provider of absence due to illness or accident, should the employer adopt such an arrangement, provided that, all other things being equal, such notification takes the place of a medical certificate.</p>
  <p>- Obligation of confidentiality and handling of personally identifiable information that a company physician/service provider collects through their activities. This applies to collection, handling, storage and deletion of this information.</p>
  <p>- How the activities of company physicians/service providers can benefit companies’ occupational health and safety practices. The negotiating committee will cooperate with the Data Protection Authority, the Director of Health, the Administration of Occupational Safety and Health and stakeholders. The negotiating committee shall complete its work no later than 30 November 2008.</p>
  <p>The negotiating committees of ASÍ and SA shall take a position on the committee’s proposals no later than 15th December 2008. If the agreeing parties come to a joint conclusion, their agreement shall be considered part of the collective agreement of their affiliate organisations and shall enter into effect on 1st January 2009. During the above-mentioned work, the agreeing parties do not object to the activities of occupational health and safety service providers who are recognised by the Administration of Occupational Safety and Health as a service provider in this field, nor to the employee’s obligation to notify them. [2008]</p>
  <p>Protocol on vocational training in the transport and construction sectors</p>
  <p>The agreeing parties shall each appoint two people to a committee the function of which is to organise and increase the amount of available vocational training that benefits this economic sector. The committee seeks to cooperate with the Education and Training Service Centre and other institutions, companies, associations and ministries as appropriate and considered desirable at any given time. The committee shall also work towards creating support for access to the training available today within the industry. [2008]</p>
  <p>Attachment Productivity growth premium</p>
  <p>During the period of the collective wage agreement, a wage premium may be paid based on the development of productivity. If productivity increases beyond the limits in the following table during the period of the agreement, a so-called productivity growth premium will occur, provided certain criteria are met.</p>
  <p>The first review point will take place after the end of the year 2025. The initial value of the index for productivity is 100 in 2023.</p>
  <p>Productivity growth consists of both increased labor productivity and technological developments based on investment. It is important that there continues to be financial incentives for investment. 70% of the increase in productivity will therefore go to workers. Productivity growth 2025 og 2026 Productivity growth premium >2.0% 0.35% >2.5% 0.70% >3.0% 1.05%</p>
  <p>The Wage and Conditions Committee will determine the productivity growth premium in the event that there are grounds for its payment. The productivity growth premium is proportional (%) and is applied to wages in the same way as general percentage increases in collective agreements do. In the event of unforeseen circumstances that have a negative impact on the economy, the Wage and Conditions Committee may have to decide whether or how the premium will occur.</p>
  <p>A more detailed technical execution with examples is signed parallel to the agreement and forms a part of it. Attachment to the Agreement on Wages in Foreign Currency - Agreement Form</p>
  <p>The Company ehf., ID no. xxxxxx-xxxx on the one hand, and ID no. on the other hand, enter into an agreement to link part of the wages to a foreign currency exchange rate or payment of part of the wages in foreign currency, on the basis of the provision of a collective agreement to that effect.</p>

  <p>[2008] Agreement between the Confederation of Icelandic Enterprises, Hlíf Labour Union and the Keflavík Workers’ and Fishermen’s Union (Flóabandalag) on Vocational Training Matters</p>
  <p>Objectives</p>
  <p>The agreeing parties agree on the importance of vocational training for the Icelandic economy. Increased skills and work-related training of employees are essential factors for higher productivity and increased competitiveness in Icelandic enterprises. The economy needs well-educated employees who can meet the new needs and changing demands of the labour market. It is important that the availability of learning and learning materials meets the needs of the economy at any given time.</p>
  <p>During the agreement period, the agreeing parties shall work on the vocational training of unskilled employees. The aim is to strengthen the position of individuals in the labour market by giving them the opportunity to strengthen and refresh their knowledge and make them more capable of taking on new and changing tasks. Unskilled employees thus have the opportunity to study in their respective fields in relation to their work.</p>
  <p>‘Vocational training’ for the purposes of this Agreement refers in particular to post- secondary and continuing education of employees.</p>
  <p>Composition of the steering committee</p>
  <p>The steering committee shall be composed of three spokespersons of the trade unions and three representatives of the Confederation of Icelandic Enterprises, together with two reserve representatives from each party. There has been discussion regarding the government being a member of the committee, in which case the number of spokespersons of the Confederation of Icelandic Enterprises will decrease by one.</p>
  <p>Role of the steering committee</p>
  <p>The main role of the steering committee is to run support projects and carry out developmental and incentive measures for vocational training for unskilled workers.</p>
  <p>It shall work towards the following:</p>
  <p>• Initiate development projects in vocational training.</p>
  <p>• Focus on promotional and incentivisation activities related to vocational training. This will encourage the vocational training of unskilled workers in the Icelandic economy.</p>
  <p>• Examine the needs of the economy for vocational training for unskilled workers.</p>
  <p>• Seek discussions with the government on arrangements for adult education.</p>
  <p>• Strengthen innovations in the development of learning materials and curriculum review.</p>
  <p>• Strengthen the operation of courses.</p>
  <p>• Provide grants for vocational training to individuals and companies in accordance with the detailed rules of the steering committee.</p>
  <p>Support for the running of courses</p>
  <p>Generally, a prerequisite for the provision of grants for the running of courses shall be that a certain proportion of their operational costs are borne by participation fees as further determined by the steering committee.</p>
  <p>Priority shall always be given to collaborative ventures of two or more unrelated parties. Cooperation between workers and companies is encouraged.</p>
  <p>Financing</p>
  <p>For employers' contributions and other funding, see Article 10.3. of the collective wage agreement.</p>
  <p>In addition, individual projects can be financed through grants from vocational training funds and direct income from the running of courses.</p>
  <p>Cooperation with other parties</p>
  <p>Through its work and provision of grants, the steering committee shall endeavour to cooperate with the various parties involved in vocational training with the aim of coordinating viewpoints and thus creating broader support for projects.</p>
  <p>Evaluation of results</p>
  <p>In light of the growing demands for measurable results from vocational training, a system shall be established to ensure that resources are well used and that a formal evaluation of the project and its individual elements can be carried out.</p>
  <p>Education accounts</p>
  <p>The agreeing parties declare that they are in favour of the idea that employees of companies can set up special education accounts. Education accounts are intended to bear some of the costs of longer-term education and training that workers decide to attend. The agreeing parties express that they are prepared to work with the government so that the taxation of such accounts shall be handled the same as that for private pension funds. Furthermore, the agreeing parties shall encourage companies and trade unions involved in workers' education to promote education accounts separately among their employees.</p>
  <p>A special committee formed from the agreeing parties, composed of two members from each of the parties, shall be responsible for preparing proposals on how to proceed with the matter. [2004] Agreement on foreigners in the Icelandic labour market</p>
  <p>The Icelandic Confederation of Labour and the Confederation of Icelandic Enterprises have agreed upon the following proceedings in disputes concerning foreign employees.</p>
  <p>Criteria and joint objectives</p>
  <p>The associations agree that Iceland’s obligations pursuant to the EEA agreement on the free movement of goods, capital, services and people across national borders have a positive impact on individual and corporate interests in Iceland, concurrent with an increased supply of products and services, dissemination of knowledge between countries, increased competition between companies, progress in various domains of society and increase in number of jobs.</p>
  <p>The EEA agreement allows citizens of member states to travel for work between countries without a permit. Companies established there also have the right to provide services in other member states with their own employees without a special permit. Citizens of EFTA states have essentially the same right under the EFTA agreement.</p>
  <p>By principle, other foreigners (third-country citizens) are not employed to work in Iceland without a work permit.</p>
  <p>The parties to this Agreement are of the opinion that changes to the composition of the workforce due to an increased number of foreigners in the Icelandic labour market should not disrupt existing arrangements for decisions on wages and other labour conditions for workers through collective agreements. The current rules for the implementation of collective agreements will remain in force.</p>
  <p>It is the joint task of the parties to encourage companies that employ foreign workers in production and services to pay wages and uphold terms of employment in accordance with Icelandic law and collective agreements.</p>
  <p>Failure to respect collective agreements undermines the activity of other companies and damages the premises of normal competition, reducing the benefits of a reliable and healthy economy for all of society.</p>
  <p>The parties agree that the adaptation of a foreign workforce and foreign companies to the habits and customs of the Icelandic society and labour market is conducive to creating trust and peace in relations between parties.</p>
  <p>Workers’ right to perform specific jobs is largely legally subject to the condition that the employee in question has completed a specific education or obtained specific authorisation to be allowed to work in the industry. The EEA agreement establishes the right of foreign workers to have education, professional qualifications and work experience obtained in another EEA state recognised in Iceland under the laws and regulations applicable thereto.</p>
  <p>Principles on the terms of employment for foreigners</p>
  <p>With this agreement, the Icelandic Confederation of Labour and the Confederation of Icelandic Enterprises wish to ensure that existing laws on terms of employment for foreigners in the Icelandic labour market are implemented. These rules are found in the following areas in particular:</p>
  <p>Wages and other terms of employment. The Act on Working Terms and Pension Rights No. 55/1980 provides that wages and other terms of employment negotiated by the member organisations of the labour market shall be the minimum standard, irrespective of nationality for all workers in the industry in question in the area covered by the collective agreement.</p>
  <p>Employees of foreign service companies, including temporary work agencies. The Act on the Legal Status of Foreign Workers Posted Temporarily in Iceland in the Service of Foreign Companies No. 54/200123 provides, among other things, that employees shall, while working in Iceland, wages bound by collective agreement, holiday entitlements and rules concerning of facilities, hygiene and safety at the workplace.</p>
  <p>Free movement of workers. The EEA agreement and the Act on the Free Right of Employment and Residence Within the EEA No. 47/1993 stipulate that workers who are citizens of an EEA state other than that in which they work may not be placed at a disadvantage with concern to employment and working conditions, in particular with regards to wage conditions.</p>
  <p>Work permits for nationals of third states. The Act on Foreign Nationals’ Right to Work No. 97/2002 provides that a work permit grants the right to work in Iceland under the laws and regulations that apply in the Icelandic labour market and that there is an employment contract guaranteeing an employee wages and other terms of employment equal to those who do not require a work permit, cf. Act No. 55/1980.</p>
  <p>Information on wages and other terms of employment for foreign workers</p>
  <p>It is the role of union representatives at the workplace to ensure that the acts of collective agreements are upheld with respect to employees, cf. Article 9 of Act No. 80/1938. If there is justifiable reason to suspect a breach of the collective agreement in question or of legislation governing terms of employment for foreign workers, the union representative, on the basis of this agreement, is entitled to review documentation on wages or other terms of employment of those foreign workers covered by the collective agreement and work for the employer in question and, as appropriate, the vocational qualifications of those who are in jobs that require such qualification.</p>
  <p>In the absence of a union representative, a spokesman of the labour union in question has the same authority as the representative to review documentation and carries the same obligations.</p>
  <p>The information shall, as a rule, be provided in such a manner that the union 23 Now Act No. 45/2007 on the rights and obligations of foreign companies that post workers temporarily in Iceland and on their workers’ terms and conditions of employment.</p>
  <p>representative is allowed to view copies of payslips or other documentation that confirm payment of wages and other terms of employment for the employees concerned. The union representative is authorised to take the information out of the workplace. The union representative shall maintain confidentiality about the information he/she is provided. However, the union representative is permitted to consult with the labour union concerned, and the spokesmen of the union must exercise the utmost confidentiality concerning the information to which they are made privy.</p>
  <p>If the employer does not agree to the union representative’s request to provide access to information on wages and other terms of employment for a foreign worker and/or there is dispute about whether the provisions of law or collective agreements are respected, cf. Act No. 55/1980, Act No. 54/200124 and Regulation No. 1612/68/EEC on the free movement of workers, cf. Act No. 47/1993, and having failed to resolve that dispute within a company, that dispute may be referred to a special consultative committee of ASÍ and SA.</p>
  <p>ASÍ and SA Consultative Committee</p>
  <p>The ASÍ and SA consultative committee that handles foreigners’ affairs under this agreement shall be composed of four spokespersons, two appointed by ASÍ and the national association concerned and two spokespersons appointed by SA.</p>
  <p>The consultative committee shall endeavour to clarify matters referred to it pursuant to the abovementioned rules and to resolve disputes through negotiations within the committee.</p>
  <p>Matters referred to the committee shall be considered by the committee within two weeks unless specific reasons prevent this.</p>
  <p>In examining a case, the committee may require the necessary documentation from the employer in question concerning the wages or other terms of employment of the foreign workers involved and, as appropriate, for the professional qualifications of those in jobs requiring such qualifications. This authorisation covers those foreign workers covered by the collective agreements of ASÍ member associations, cf. Article 1 of Act No. 55/1980.</p>
  <p>A union representative or spokesman for the union who is acting in place of a representative is not bound by confidentiality concerning his/her relations with the committee regarding the matters under discussion. Representatives on the consultative committee may call upon a union representative or spokesman for the union who has taken a representative’s place pursuant to the aforementioned in order to obtain further information concerning the matters under discussion.</p>
  <p>The consultation committee and its individual members shall exercise confidentiality regarding information obtained from an employer, union representative or spokesman from the union, and are not authorised to deliver 24 Now Act No. 45/2007.</p>
  <p>or divulge the material to a third party.</p>
  <p>The committee’s conclusion shall be presented to the disputing parties.</p>
  <p>Notwithstanding the committee's conclusion, a case may be referred to the courts. The obligation of confidentiality pursuant to the above does not prevent the submission of documents in judicial proceedings.</p>

  <p>A ‘comparable employee’ for the purposes of paragraph 1 shall mean a worker who is employed in the same company on the basis of the same employment relationship and performs the same or comparable work, taking into account other determinants such as length of service, skills or competence.</p>
  <p>In the absence of a comparable employee in the same company, a comparison shall be made by reference to the relevant collective agreement, or where such an agreement does not exist, by reference to law, other collective agreements or practice.</p>

  <p>2003. Reykjavik, 13th December, 2002. Agreement on mass redundancies</p>
  <p>The agreeing parties agree that redundancies are best reserved for those employees whose intention is to dismiss and not all employees or groups of employees. In view of this, the parties have reached the following agreement:</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">1. Scope of application This agreement only covers the mass redundancy of permanent employees when the number of such employees to be dismissed over a 30-day period is:</p>
  <p>at least 10 individuals in companies with 16-100 employees.</p>
  <p>at least 10% of employees in companies with 100-300 employees.</p>
  <p>at least 30 individuals in companies with 300 employees or more.</p>
  <p>It is not considered a mass redundancy when employment ends according to the employment contracts made for a specific period of time or for special projects. This agreement does not apply to the dismissal of individual employees, to dismissals due to amendments to terms of employment without pending end of employment, nor to dismissal of ship crews.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">2. Consultation If an employer is considering a mass redundancy, he/she shall first consult the respective labour union representative in order to find ways to avoid redundancies to as great an extent as possible and to mitigate the ramifications of such redundancies. Where union representatives are not present, employers shall consult with an employee representative.</p>
  <p>Union representatives are then entitled to information pertinent to the impending dismissals, particularly the reasons for dismissal, number of employees to be dismissed and when the dismissal is to be implemented.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">3. Implementation of mass redundancies</p>
  <p>If, in the opinion of the employer, mass redundancies cannot be avoided despite aiming to re-hire some employees without terminating their employment, a decision shall be made concerning those employees to be re-hired as soon as possible.</p>
  <p>If re-hiring decisions have not been made and an employee has been notified that there is no possibility of re-hiring with at least 2/3 of the employee in question’s termination period remaining, his/her termination period is extended by one month if the termination period is three months, by three weeks if the termination period is two months, and approx. two weeks if the termination period is one month.</p>
  <p>This provision covers employees who have accrued a termination period of at least one month.</p>
  <p>Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article, notification of re-hiring may be conditional so that the employer may continue the operations for which the employee was hired without resulting in an extension of the termination period.</p>
  <p>Framework agreement between VMSÍ on one hand and VSÍ, VMS, the Minister of Finance on behalf of the State and the City of Reykjavík on the other hand on cleaning work</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">1. Scope and objectives of the agreement 1.1. Scope This agreement applies to all kinds of sanitation work as defined in this agreement. It is intended to create a framework for the organization of sanitation work and define concepts. 1.2. Purpose To facilitate the application of different pay schemes and organization. To increase education about the field of work and promote increased quality in the performance of sanitation work.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">2. Definitions</p>
  <p>2.1 Sanitation Sanitation is work to remove dirt (from surfaces). This may include water, equipment, appliances and cleaning supplies. 2.2. Regular sanitation This refers to a specific defined area indoors that is cleaned regularly, along with interior fixtures, below the cleaning reach, cf. Article. 3.1. 2.3. Principal sanitation This refers to the surface being cleaned more thoroughly, below cleaning reach, of dirt that does not disappear during regular sanitation, see work procedures 2.4. Deep cleaning This refers to cleaning surfaces of dirt that does not disappear during sanitation, cf. Article 2.2. and 2.3.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">3. Cleaning area 3.1. Demarcation of sanitary areas. (Cleaning reach) The sanitary area is delimited as the floor surface and the possible working height of persons standing on the floor, or on a safe foundation as specified in the work procedures.</p>
  <p>3.2 Measurement of square meters for sanitation work The number of square meters of each area shall be measured as the floor area limited by the inner edge of the walls of the area.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">4. Performance 4.1. Work pace The work pace is the measured speed of work as defined by the International Labour Organisation. Standard performance is the performance delivered on average by qualified employees during a working day or shift without overexerting themselves, provided that they know and follow a particular working method and are interested in putting effort into the work. Such performance is considered to give 100 points according to the standardized assessment and performance scale. Other work paces are referred to in the definitions from the International Labour Organisation, cf. Attachment I. 4.2. Calculation of cleaning time. Time units (standard hours) can be taken as the basis when calculating cleaning time. When time units are used for each project according to the work procedures, they shall be in accordance with a specific working pace agreed upon by the agreeing parties pursuant to Article 4.1 and Chapter 6. Guidance on the preparation for and conduct of methods analyses, cf. attachment I. 4.3. Calculation of performance The basic unit for the calculation of cleaning performance is cleaned square metres of floor per unit of time (m2/h). This includes all cleaning in the cleaning area according to the work procedures. EXAMPLE: a. The floor area in the area is 600 m2. It is entirely cleaned 3 days a week and the time for the work on each of these 3 days is Y hours. The performance for this area is 600/Y = X m2 per hour. b. The floor area in the area is 655 m2, 450 m2 is cleaned on 5 days a week, while 205 m2 is cleaned on 3 days a week. The total time for the area is Y hours. The performance for this area is ((450x5)+(205x3))/Y = X m2 per hour.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">5. Working hours 5.1. See Chapter 22 in the collective wage agreement. 5.2. Paid hours Paid time for the cleaning area is measured in hours for each occasion. See protocol attachment II.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">6. Wages 6.1. See collective agreement Timed piecework. Measured piecework. Monthly wages. Rate for deep cleaning.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">7. Work Arrangements 7.1. Adaptation The agreeing parties can decide which pay schemes should be used according to what is considered suitable for the work performance. Other work may be connected to sanitation work that the sanitation worker performs at the workplace. With more diverse options in pay schemes, increased information to staff, and with the combination of cleaning areas within the same building or several buildings, opportunities are created to increase the number of jobs and increase the employment ratio in sanitation work, see also attachment III. 7.2. Other provisions Other provisions than those stipulated in the framework agreement shall be agreed upon separately.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">8. Facilities 8.1. Facilities at the workplace Facilities at the workplace shall be in accordance with the provisions of collective wage agreements and the Act on Working Conditions, Hygiene and Safety at Work and the regulation on workplace premises. Provisions concerning the performance of the work and special facilities for sanitation work shall be specified in the work procedures.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">9. Education 9.1. Courses To increase competence at work, the agreeing parties have made an agreement on organizing courses for sanitation staff. The courses are intended to teach proper working methods and handling of tools and materials. To enhance understanding of the necessity for quality in this service. To promote the protection of employees' health and ensure education for them about their work and the collective wage agreements that relate to the work. 9.2. Development The aim is to make sanitation work a professional occupation where employees have acquired specific specialization due to education and work experience.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">10. Work procedures 10.1. Work procedure In the written work procedures, diagrams shall clearly delineate the sanitary areas to be cleaned and with what level of emphasis. The description of work shall specify he time of day and area should be cleaned and how often. 10.2. Access to work procedures The work procedures must be present at the workplace and be accessible to employees. The work procedures should be revised immediately if there is a permanent change to the cleaning area or cleaning requirements. A union shall have access to the work procedures if it so requests. Before work begins, employees shall be well informed of the work area and working facilities and review the work procedures.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">11. Equipment 11.1. On equipment and changes Care shall always be taken to ensure that the most suitable equipment is available at the workplace, along with the cleaning materials to be used, to make the work performance as easy as possible and ensure the best possible results. In the event of major changes to equipment, the time allocated to the work shall be reassessed.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">12. Dispute Resolution 12.1. Disputes regarding contractual provisions If a dispute arises regarding this agreement, the implementation of agreement provisions or any other matter falling under the agreement, it shall be referred for resolution to a four-person committee where the agreeing parties each appoint two persons. 12.2. Disputes regarding work performance Disputes regarding individual cleaning areas may be resolved through a joint examination by union representatives of workers and the employer.</p>
  <p class="ks-pdf-li">13. Duration This framework agreement takes effect on November 1st, 1994, and is terminable by either agreeing party with three months' notice. Reykjavik, 1st November, 1994.</p>

  <p>Attachment 2</p>
  <p>Paid time for the cleaning area based on units of time (standard hours) is calculated using whole hours or a fraction thereof rounded to the nearest quarter of an hour. If the total time for a cleaning area is 5 minutes higher than that of the previous quarter of an hour, it is raised upwards, but if it is lower, the next quarter of an hour is reduced.</p>
  <p>Attachment 3</p>
  <p>In creating the framework agreement on sanitation work, the agreeing parties have aimed to define the work and describe the procedures for calculating it. Such definitions and calculations can apply to different pay schemes. It is the opinion of the agreeing parties that work at an hourly rate is no less suitable than piecework to increase the quality of sanitation work. Employees must have sufficient time to carry out the work with the correct equipment and materials. Protocol on transit lines due to changes to the general transit line</p>
  <p>Due to changes in the transit line in Article 2.5.1 in the main collective agreement of Efling, the parties agree that the employees who have enjoyed rights under the above provision shall retain those rights, unless otherwise expressly agreed between the employer and the employee. [1998]</p>
  <p>Declaration on preparing workers for retirement</p>
  <p>In order to make it easier for employees to adapt to retirement, the Confederation of Icelandic Enterprises and Association of Co-Operative Employers will recommend to their members that they make every effort to accommodate employees' requests to reduce their employment rate in the years preceding retirement age. [1990]</p>
  <p>Declaration on contracting operations</p>
  <p>In recent months, relations between workers and employers have grown into the form of contracting where the employee is considered a subcontractor of the employer. Many disputes have arisen as a result of unclear rules governing the legal status of the parties, the responsibilities between them and towards third parties, as well as reasonable suspicions of underbidding in this regard. This arrangement reduces the validity of social rights under collective agreements and laws, is accompanied by failure to pay fees and taxes, it weakens the competitive position of real employers.</p>
  <p>The parties consider this development to be harmful and contrary to the interests of their members and will therefore counteract it by establishing clear rules and definitions of the situation of employees on the one hand and contractors and employers on the other. [1990] Framework agreement on group pay scheme in freezing plants between VSÍ/VMS and the Icelandic Labour Federation</p>
  <p>General description - main features</p>
  <p>A premium is paid on all production covered by the group pay scheme (e.g. kronur per box) that varies according to the species of fish and packaging. Additional payments are also made for the full utilization of raw materials.</p>
  <p>The premium is determined based on the sales association's standard hour system, which takes into account the average raw material of each species of fish, i.e. size, quantity of worms and number of defects.</p>
  <p>As a general rule, the total bonus after each working week is divided among everyone in the work cycle (including service work), see definition, in proportion to the working hours of each employee. Here we go into the path of basing bonus payments on the average condition of raw materials. As a result, there are some fluctuations between days and even weeks, as far as bonuses during working hours are concerned. However, on a longer time scale, these fluctuations level off.</p>
  <p>Advantages of a group system and requirements for success</p>
  <p>It is generally believed that a group pay scheme contributes to the increased cohesion of employees and better human interaction. In an individual pay scheme, each individual works individually, but in a system like this, it is the success of the group that matters.</p>
  <p>A close-knit group can deliver better overall results, both in terms of productivity and hard work than those working in an individual system. For this to happen, everyone needs to make an effort. Those employees who performed service work that came onto the bonus system can now work on production.</p>
  <p>Success is largely based on the mobility of persons as workload changes, both from place to place in the processing channel and between services and processing duties. With respect to this last point, everyone needs to keep watch. A manager follows up on those moving between duties.</p>

  <p class="ks-pdf-li">2. Article</p>
  <p>On the pay scheme</p>
  <p>Employees working in the processing channel form a single clause group. A premium is paid on all production that varies according to the species of fish and packaging. Additional payments are also made for utilization. 2.1. Basic pay according to the collective agreement signed on 24th March 1997</p>
  <p>The basic pay in the group salary system is from 24th March 1997 and is ISK 161.44, although bonus payments decrease by a maximum of ISK 54.00 per hour from what they would have been according to the earlier agreement. From 1st January 1998, the figure will be ISK 167.90, and from 1 January 1999, it will be ISK 174.03. 2.2. Calculation of premium</p>
  <p>The premium is calculated weekly and is divided between employees in proportion to the working hours of each person. The total premium is divided by the total number of hours, giving the premium amount per hour.</p>
  <p>According to the collective agreement signed on 24th March 1997, the premium amount per hour shall be calculated in two steps.</p>
  <p>Total premium per week 1) Premium per hour = Total working hours per week</p>
  <p>If both performance and utilization are paid for, the premium found using this method is multiplied by the utilization factor according to Article 2.3 below.</p>
  <p>If the premium per hour found using this method is equal to or less than 126.00 ISK per hour, it is paid. If the premium found according to Item 1 is higher than ISK 126.00 per hour, the premium shall be increased as follows:</p>
  <p>Premium per hour according to Item 1 2) Premium per hour = ______________________________ = 54.00</p>
  <p>0.7</p>
  <p>From 01/01/1998 inclusive, the above figures will increase by 4%, and from 1/1/1999, they will increase by 3.65% in accordance with the collective agreement of the parties dated 24th March 1997. 2.3. Payment for performance and utilization:</p>
  <p>Each standard hour is calculated using 40% of the basic pay.</p>
  <p>Utilization is paid in such a way that it begins to be paid after the minimum utilization is reached, which is determined for each species of fish and varies according to the processing method.</p>
  <p>For every 0.1% above the minimum utilisation, the premium increases by 1% until optimal utilisation is reached, which is 2.5% above the minimum utilisation. Thus, the increase due to utilisation can reach a maximum of 25%. This refers to the total utilisation calculated as a ratio of the weight of raw material weighed in for processing to the calculated weight of the packaged product. 2.4. Payment for performance only:</p>
  <p>Each standard hour is paid with 47% of the figure. This applies to fish species that are not subject to a utilisation payment. Example: Roe processing, lobster processing and packaging of frozen products not worked in direct relation to the processing channel. 2.5. Amendments to working hours</p>
  <p>‘Working hours’ in the group pay scheme refer to all the hours during which employees are registered to work in the group pay scheme, with the exception of paid meal breaks that are not worked. The importance of signing/stamping in and out of work must be emphasized. This applies also if employees go to work outside of the processing channel.</p>

  <p>Transfer to hourly paid employment</p>
  <p>If it proves necessary to transfer employees out of work paid with bonuses or premiums, care shall be taken to ensure that such transfers affect the staff as equally as possible. If an employee is transferred to an hourly paid job, he/she shall keep the group's bonus for up to seven days, but for no longer than the time worked in the group pay scheme.</p>
  <p>No extra payments are paid during a transfer between bonus-based work and/or premium-paid work.</p>

  <p>In preparing a premium system, there are two options, one being to negotiate premium rates for individual work components, and the other being to calculate the premium based on standard hours, the basic pay, and the proportion of the base wage paid. The remainder of this paragraph applies when the latter option is taken. 2.1. On standard hours</p>
  <p>Standard hours shall be made taking into account the circumstances at each workplace and in the same way as other standards of the sales association. Standard hours shall be revised immediately in the event of major changes in technological developments or packing rules. 2.2. Basic pay</p>
  <p>The basic pay in the group pay scheme is from ............ ISK to ........... and is subject to the same amendments as provided for by agreements at any given time. 2.3. Payment for performance only:</p>
  <p>This applies when or where extra is paid for utilization. Each standard hour is paid with 47% of the basic pay. 2.4. Payment for performance and utilization</p>
  <p>A separate agreement provides a method for assessing utilization and calculating the precision factor.</p>
  <p>The maximum utilization factor may vary, in which case the payment for performance also varies, as follows:</p>
  <p>Payment per hour in standard hours in Utilization factor % of the figure Minimum factor Maximum factor</p>
