Table explanation
The table contains data on indices of collective labour agreements (cao in Dutch) wages per month and per hour including and excluding special payments, indices of contractual wage costs (per month and per hour) and indices of contractual working hours.

The table data can be broken down into:
- Cao sector;
- Economic activity (SIC'93);
- Version of the results;
- Months, years and quarters.
Data available from: January 2000.

- Monthly cao wages excl. special payments
- These are the cao wages excluding special payments.
Cao wages include:
- gross wage for normal working hours of full-time employees.
- all required mandatory (compulsory), regularly paid allowances.
Special payments include:
