- It distinguishes the 10.75% headline from roughly 11.3% compounded growth and notes that union members have not yet voted on the draft.
Field notes
The page separates the nine scheduled increases into annualized changes and explains the rule that selects a minimum flat payment or a percentage for five rises, using a €60,000 lower-pay threshold. Its calculator is described as keeping entries on the page rather than sending them elsewhere. A comparison section places the draft beside the 2024–2026 Public Service Agreement, and the guide includes sources and calculation assumptions.
