How to read the PC 331 pay scale

The FPS publishes 5 tables for PC 331, with 444 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: the category or class, seniority or years in the job, age. 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.
