Difficult words and expressions?
Frame refers to the total financial package available under a wage settlement. It includes salary supplements, other financial supplements such as increased inconvenience allowance, as well as the value of other benefits such as longer holidays or shorter working hours. The economic framework is a matter of negotiation and often includes a number of factors, such as the government’s guidelines, Norges Bank’s key interest rate, and calculations from the Technical Calculation Committee (TBU).
Overhang describes the difference between the wage level at the end of a year and the average level for the whole year. It shows how big the wage growth will be from one year to the next, given that no further wage increases are given. Overhang typically occurs when pay supplements are given late in the year, and is an important factor that forms part of the financial framework for a pay settlement.
Sliding, or wage slippage, is the difference between the wage growth agreed in a wage settlement and the wage growth that actually occurs. This may include salary supplements given through local negotiations, personal supplements, seniority supplements, and other forms of salary increase that are not directly part of the central salary settlement.
Local negotiations are negotiations that take place at the individual workplace or within a specific area, and which deal with additions beyond those agreed in the central negotiations. These negotiations take into account the company’s finances, competitiveness, productivity and future prospects. The result of local negotiations often contributes significantly to the wage gap.
