[tonicha]

We live on just over that, no probs

[Workingman]

Ah but.......that's for white-collar workers only, and they are entitled to 14 monthly payments per year.

When rounded it comes to €565.8 per month. God knows what blue collar staff get!

[Kaz]

It's all relative though isn't it? How much you need for a decent standard of living.................

[victor]

the 14 month month has been knocked off quite a lot

Kaz ,it used to be that workers got an extra month's pay in the Summer and at Xmas ,but that has been stopped by most companies

[Kaz]

Oh really, I didn't know that!

[Diflower]

Germany always used to pay 13 months a year, don't know if they still do, meriad will tell us

Bb's holiday pay is a little bit like that. He doesn't work set hours and is paid per job, but is entitled to holiday, so he gets paid a set percentage of his earnings each quarter.
