As a staff leasing company, Coople is subject to the CBA Staff Leasing. The CBA Staff Leasing determines that wage and working time provisions of generally applicable collective labour agreements must be observed. The N-CLA of the hospitality industry has been declared generally valid by the Federal Council, which is why Coople and the hiring companies that are subject to the N-CLA hospitality must apply it.
Below you will find the currently applicable minimum wages of the N-CLA hospitality. Cantonal minimum wages override these provisions if they are higher than the minimum wages of this N-CLA. This is the case in the canton of Geneva.
The hourly wages listed in the table include the supplements according to the N-CLA hospitality for holidays (10.65%, equivalent to 25 working days), public holidays (2.27%) and the 13th month's wage (8.33%). Detailed information on the individual components can be found in the N-CLA contract.
