The updated collective agreement will remain in effect until the end of 2027. It includes both conventional and innovative employee assistance measures that were put into place in response to employee suggestions.
Three of the Group's businesses simultaneously signed the new collective agreement: MMC Norilsk Nickel, Medvezhy Ruchey, and NTEK. The signing took place at Nornickel's headquarters. Members of the collective agreement commissions, which included equal representation from the employers and employees, signed the documents.
What’s new in the agreement
The new agreement places emphasis on providing additional targeted support for specific groups of employees. For example, during maternity leave, female employees will receive an extra payment from the company so that their combined income will equal their regular salary. The company has also increased the amount of financial help for childbirth and up to three years of childcare.
Employees who are officially disabled are entitled to additional paid vacation and financial help. The amount of reimbursement for relocation expenses has also increased.
