wage agreement

Salary negotiation outcome

A wage agreement is a formal arrangement between employers and employees—often negotiated through unions—that establishes pay rates, benefits, and working conditions for a specified period.

Such agreements may cover an entire industry or a single workplace.

The new wage agreement included a 3% annual raise and improved healthcare benefits.

When a wage agreement expires, workers may strike if negotiations for a new one stall.
