Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. None of these nations have an minimim hourly wage enshrined in law. Instead many of the base terms of employment, including wages, are decided via collective bargaining between sector trade unions and representatives of public sector and business interest organizations.
Minimum wage decided by politics is something taken for granted in many parts of the world, but ultimately it’s a question that most of all affects the suppliers (employees) and buyers (employers). The government will always be behind the times in legislation and have many other interests to juggle than yours - don’t just be a passive participant in the market.
I live in Sweden by the way, so feel free to ask me questions on the topic and I’ll do my best to answer.
Not in Denmark. Although there’s a law on the way, so every employee will know their range.
I think that means that from the title, you will know that everyone in the company with that title, will have between X and Y salary.
This should help negotiating salary in a more fair way.
In Germany, there are specialized companies who receive that salary info from businesses in exchange for giving them the salary info from other businesses. And also sell that info.
But private citizens don’t get access to it.
