How to read the PC 318.01 pay scale

The FPS publishes 3 tables for PC 318.01, with 458 amounts in total.
The pay scale has hourly and monthly wages, in gross euros. Each table heading says which.
The amount depends on what the rows and columns show: seniority or years in the job. First find the category or class of the job, then read off the row that fits the employee.
These are sectoral minimum wages. A company agreement or the employment contract can set a higher wage.

The tables, headings and official notes below are shown exactly as the FPS publishes them, in Dutch. We do not translate legal categories, so the official wording stays the reference. The French version is on the official FPS page.

FPS notes on this pay scale

Deze sub-sector is geen officieel Paritair Subcomité (PSC). De onderstaande loongegevens zijn evenwel opgenomen in de sectorale CAO's van het officiële Paritair Subcomité (PSC ).

Indexatie basislonen in 8/2026. Basisloon x 1,7758.

Deze sub-sector is geen officieel Paritair Subcomité (PSC), maar hergroepeerd alles wat geen deel uitmaakt van de officiële Paritaire Comités 31801 en 31802. Er werd voor deze groep geen CAO m.b.t. de loonbarema’s afgesloten.

De indexeringsformule van toepassing op het loonbarema maakt overeenkomstig de bepalingen van de sectorale CAO’s gebruik van ‘basisbedragen’ (vaste bedragen die ongewijzigd blijven bij indexering, te vermenigvuldigen met een indexeringscoëfficiënt die de index volgt). Deze basisbedragen kunnen evenwel wijzigen n.a.v. een conventionele loonsverhoging of een harmonisering met een ander loonbarema. Aangezien de CAO’s de gewijzigde basisbedragen niet bevatten, heeft de FOD de vorige minimumloonbedragen noodgedwongen vermenigvuldigd met een coëfficiënt 1,02 voor de uitvoering van de indexering met 2%. Aldus kunnen minieme afrondingsverschillen met het sectorale loonbarema volgens de bepalingen van de sectorale CAO’s optreden. Deze verschillen beperken zich tot de laatste decimaal van de weergegeven bedragen.
