Soria registers the new trade agreement with salary increases of 3.25%

The Official Gazette of the Province of Soria (no. 101, of August 31, 2026, page 3044) publishes the Resolution of August 26, 2026 of the Territorial Labor Office of the Territorial Delegation of the Junta de Castilla y León in Soria, by which the registration and publication of the Provincial Collective Agreement for the Trade Sector of the province of Soria, signed on July 14, 2026, is ordered.

The text, which affects companies and workers in trade throughout the province, will be in force for three years, from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2028, and will be automatically terminated at the end of its duration, with all its contents being extended until a replacement agreement comes into force.

Signing Parties

The agreement has been negotiated by the social side and the business side of the sector:

• For the workers, Comisiones Obreras (CCOO).
• For the companies, the Federation of Soria Business Organizations (FOES), the Federation of Trade Entrepreneurs of Soria (FEC Soria), the Soria Association of Press, Magazine and Publication Sellers, the Soria Association of Tire Sale and Repair Entrepreneurs of Soria, the Soria Association for the Repair and Sale of Agricultural Machinery (ASEMA), and the Soria Association of Phytosanitary Product Distribution Companies (ASOEFIT).

Salary Increases and CPI Review

The agreement sets a staggered salary increase for the three years of validity:

• 2026: increase of 3.25% over the 2025 salary tables, with adaptation to the annual SMI (Minimum Interprofessional Wage) for categories that fall below, with an annual difference of 105 euros.
• 2027: increase of 3.00% over the 2026 tables.
• 2028: increase of 3.00% over the 2027 tables.

Additionally, a review clause is established: if at the end of 2028 the sum of the actual CPI for the years 2026, 2027, and 2028 exceeds 9.25%, a salary update will be carried out effective January 1, 2029, on the excess of said 9.25%, up to a maximum of 1%.

Working Hours, Payments, and Other Conditions

The agreement maintains a working day of 40 hours per week, with 1,790 hours on an annual basis for each of the three years, and includes improvements in work-life balance, with an increasing number of full weekends of rest (two in 2026, three in 2027, and four in 2028). Among the economic conditions, the following stand out:

• Three extraordinary payments per year, equivalent to one monthly installment of the collective agreement salary plus seniority, accrued on March 30, July 15, and December 15.
• Seniority supplement per four-year period of 5%, with a maximum of four periods (20%).
• Night shift premium of 22% over the base salary for hours between 22:00 and 6:00.
• Per diems of 12 euros for a half-diem (one meal) and full diem with justified dinner and accommodation expenses.
• 30 calendar days of vacation per year.
• Accident insurance policy with coverage of 15,000 euros for death and 20,000 euros for absolute permanent disability.

The text also creates a Joint Commission as a body for interpretation, arbitration, and conciliation, and an Equal Opportunities Commission, with formal adherence to the Agreement for the Autonomous Resolution of Labor Conflicts in Castilla y León (ASACL).

The publication in the official bulletin gives full effect to an agreement that sets the working conditions for thousands of workers and trade companies in Soria for the next three years, in a context of inflation containment and a commitment to reconciliation and equality in the sector.
