Status of NWO-I/NWO Implementing Regulations
Our current implementing regulations will officially expire on 1 January 2026. Negotiations for the new implementing regulations have now started, but no agreements have yet been reached. The implementing regulations apply to both NWO and NWO-I.
At the beginning of 2026, the negotiating delegation of the employers NWO and NWO-I and the negotiating delegation of the Central Works Council of NWO will resume negotiations. These parties aim to reach an agreement in the short term.
Current implementing regulations remain fully in effect
Until the new implementing regulations are adopted, the current NWO implementing regulations for 2023-2025 will remain fully in effect. This concerns the version that came into effect on 1 September 2024, following interim negotiations.
All terms and conditions of employment described in that version of the NWO implementing regulations 2023-2025, such as travel allowances, home working facilities and other agreements, will therefore remain in force until the new implementing regulations are adopted.
