The VI pastry collective agreement of Huesca sets salary increases until 2027

The Provincial Sub-directorate of Labor of Huesca, under the Department of Economy, Competitiveness and Employment of the Government of Aragon, has ordered the registration and publication of the VI Collective Agreement for the Pastry, Bakery, Biscuits, Confectionery, Confectionery Product Manufacturing, Chocolate, Ready Meals, Savory Pastry and Artisanal Ice Cream Sector of the province of Huesca, with agreement code 22001125012010. The resolution appears published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Huesca number 218, corresponding to Friday, November 13, 2026, and bears the official identifier BOPH-2026-218031.

The agreement was signed by the representatives of the companies in the sector and by their union representation, affiliated with U.G.T. and C.C.O.O., as stated in the approved text. The file was submitted on November 5, 2026, and was corrected on November 10, 2026, at the request of the Provincial Sub-directorate itself, which signed the resolution on November 11, 2026, with the signature of the provincial sub-director of Labor, Ana Maurel Garcés. The publication is supported by article 90.2 and 3 of Royal Legislative Decree 2/2015, which approves the Workers’ Statute, and by Royal Decree 713/2010, regarding the registration and deposit of collective agreements and accords.

Provincial scope and three-year validity

The agreement applies to all companies established in the province of Huesca and also to those that, while residing outside, have establishments within the province regarding the personnel assigned to them. The functional scope covers pastry, bakery, biscuits, confectionery, sweets, chocolate, ready meals, savory pastry, and artisanal ice cream, and includes derived commercial activities, both wholesale and retail.

The validity spans from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2027, three years in total. Upon expiration, it will be understood as automatically denounced and will continue to be applied provisionally until the signing of the next one, for which the negotiating table must be constituted in the three months prior to the end.

Increases of 2.9% and 2.5% and salary tables

The remuneration chapter establishes the following increases, all effective from January 1 of each fiscal year:

• 2025: 2.9% over the final 2024 tables.
• 2026: 2.5% over the 2025 tables.
• 2027: 2.5% over the 2026 tables.

In 2026, with 15 payments, the fixed table sets 1,350.07 euros monthly (20,251.05 annually) for workshop manager, sales manager, administrative manager, maintenance manager, and warehouse manager; 1,251.85 euros for first-class technician and mechanic; 1,202.70 euros for second-class technician; and 1,139.60 euros for assistant, shop assistant, and laborer. In 2027, the manager scales to 1,383.82 euros and the assistant to 1,168.09 euros.

Three extraordinary payments are maintained, payable on March 15, July 15, and December 15. The 2025 arrears must be paid within the two months following publication, and those of 2026 within the subsequent four months. If the accumulated CPI between 2026 and 2027 exceeds 5%, an adjustment with a cap of 1.5% will be applied to the tables that serve as the basis for the 2028 increase.

Working day, vacations, and supplements

The annual working day is set at 1,792 hours. Vacations are 22 working days for those working Monday to Friday or 30 calendar days in all other cases, preferably in June, July, August, and September, and known two months in advance. Each holiday worked is compensated with a working day or with a supplement of 50% of the daily salary, and night hours, between 22:00 and 6:00, are paid with a 25% surcharge.

Overtime hours are remunerated with a 50% surcharge, which rises to 60% on Sundays and holidays. Per diems are set at 21.60 euros (2026) and 22.14 euros (2027) for one meal, and at 54.28 and 55.63 euros if they include overnight stays; mileage is paid at 0.26 euros. The group insurance covers 31,052 euros for permanent disability and 24,307 euros for death in 2027, and temporary disability due to occupational accident or professional illness is supplemented up to 100% of the actual salary for a maximum of six months.

Joint commission and anti-harassment protocol

The Joint Monitoring and Interpretation Commission is composed of four worker representatives—two from each signing trade union organization—and four from the business representation, with the capacity for interpretation, conciliation, and arbitration, and a deadline of 20 business days to resolve. The parties also adhere to the Aragonese Mediation and Arbitration Service (SAMA) for the extrajudicial resolution of conflicts and refer disagreements regarding non-application to the Labor Relations Council of Aragon.

The text incorporates as Annex IV a prevention and action protocol against workplace, sexual, and gender-based harassment, applicable to companies without their own protocol, with a designated instructor, investigation within a period of 10 working days, and a business decision within 3 days. For notifications, the commission establishes the addresses of the Asociación Provincial de Empresarios de Confitura, Pastelería y Bollería on López Allué Street in Huesca, UGTFICA, and CCOO Industria as the official domiciles.

The agreement arrives with nearly two years of retroactivity in its economic effects, meaning that the sector’s workforces should receive the differences for 2025 in the coming weeks and, slightly later, those for 2026. For a business fabric of artisanal workshops and small workforces, the text provides certainty until 2027 regarding salaries, working hours, and permits, and reinforces internal conflict resolution mechanisms in a sector with a strong presence of female employment and fixed-discontinuous contracting in the Pyrenean regions.
