The agreement is effective from July 1, and will be valid until June 30, 2020.

Under the terms of the agreement, the wage component of employees in Category A will be increased by 6% during the first year. During the subsequent two years, from July 1, 2018, to June 30, 2020, these employees will receive an increase of 6% or a Consumer Price Index increase limited to 7%, depending on whichever is the higher amount.
