PostNL added: “The CLA is valid for two years: from 1 October 2017 until 30 September 2019. The agreement includes pay increases in five steps during the duration of the CLA, 5 percent in total. It also includes a one-time bonus of 1 percent and the adjustment of the pension scheme to the tax requirements.”
