The employees outside the agreement, executives and business managers, will mostly have a loss of purchasing power, just as happens with the rest of the workers. To compensate for the defeat against inflation, companies resort to different strategies and benefits.
The WTW survey of salary increases and benefits for non-agreement personnel indicates that most companies expect to increase the salaries of their executives by 188%, but estimate that inflation will be 201%. Last year, only 3 out of 10 had adjustments so that salaries at least matched the rise in prices.
Almost 40% of companies have already defined that it is not in their plans to guarantee that salaries do not lose against inflation. 30% say yes, and the rest are still analyzing it.
Measuring by sectors, logistics and transportation is emerging as unscathed – and even a winner – by 2024, since salaries will rise by 254%. The most affected would be construction, in a year in which activity is suffering a strong blow due to the total reduction in public works. On average, the entire salary spectrum would increase by 189%.
Instead of matching inflation, companies continue with the policy of granting additional benefits. Among these are compensation for the use of a personal car or the granting of a corporate one, internet, daycare, dining room, among others.
