This minimum salary may comprise both fixed and\/or variable salary elements (i.e. bonuses, incentives, profit share, remuneration, in-kind benefits\u2026etc).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies who will not be able to apply the minimum salary due to economic hardship shall submit an exemption request to the relevant federation by no later than&nbsp;31 October 2021, this request shall highlight the reasons for seeking an exemption accompanied by all supporting documents.
