The Collective Trade Agreement of Ponta Grossa for 2026/2027 establishes new salary levels, 6% readjustment, rules for days, Sundays, holidays and special operation in the Christmas period. The agreement signed between Sindilojas Ponta Grossa and the region and the Trade Employees Union is valid until April 30, 2027.

The date-base of the category remains on May 1. Among the main points of the document are the minimum amounts of remuneration that come into force since May of this year.

For employees who act as continuous and office-boys, the salary floor was set at R$ 1,982.20.

For workers of other functions covered by the convention, the floor reaches R$ 2,178.78.

The values are also applicable to employees working in shopping centers, provided that they have completed a 36-hour weekly workday, as established by the CCT.

Entrance salary is R$ 1,785.94

For the first 90 working days in the company, the convention establishes the so-called entry salary.

The value was set at R$ 1,785.94, respecting the rule that remuneration cannot be below the national minimum wage.

For apprentices, the monthly salary provided for in the convention is R$ 1,630,12, in compliance with the conditions of labor legislation and the collective agreement itself.

Wage adjustment will be 6%

Another point of direct impact for workers is the 6% adjustment on fixed wages, or on the fixed portion of remuneration, taking as a reference the May 2025 wages already corrected according to the previous convention.

For employees admitted after May 2025, the percentage will be proportional to the month of hiring, following the table provided in the document.
