Increase of the minimum wage in Luxembourg, what does it change?

New legislation concerning the minimum wage

In 2019, the Luxembourg law legislated to revalue the minimum wage thanks to 2 measures:

1. The increase of 2% of the minimum social wage (SSM : Salaire Social Minimum), in response to the government's commitment to increase the SSM by € 100.
2. The creation of a new tax credit: the CISSM (Crédit d’Impôt Salaire Social Minimum). This tax credit of 70 € concerns employees and apprentices with a gross monthly salary between 1,500€ and 3,000 €.

How does this impact my Adecco pay slip?

The measures were validated in April 2019 with retroactive as of 1 January 2019.
They are divided into 3 laws split over the year 2019:

1. Law of December 21, 2018
   First part of the salary increase (1.1% out of the 2% forecast).
   Measure applied by Adecco in January 2019
2. Law of April 26, 2019
   Introduction of the tax credit retroactively to January 1st
   Measure applied by Adecco in July 2019
3. Law of June 25, 2019
   Second part of the salary increase (the remaining 0.9% out of the 2% forecast)
   Measure applied by Adecco in September 2019
