The agreement is worth some HRK 3 billion annually for the pay rise for 250,000 employees in the public and government services. unionists earlier reported.
The trade unions and the government reached that deal in mid-May, after some segments in the public sector went on strike.
The document regulates the cost of labour for 180,000 public service employees, and its provisions will also apply to 60,000 government employees.
Two unions accepted the deal without a referendum, and six unions held a referendum in the past weeks among their members and the outcome is that the agreement is accepted by 90 percent.
Under the agreement, which takes effect on Friday, salaries of public-sector employees will be brought into accord with the inflation rate as of January 1 next year and the six per cent pay rise, which the government scrapped because of the economic crisis, will be restored after two consecutive quarterly GDP rises of two per cent.
The deal provides for 77 percent rise in salaries until 2016, unionists said today.
