The central bank NBS pays the highest average wage in the banking sector, of €2,814 last year (total labor costs, including bonuses, split into 12 months), calculated Finsider. Among banks with branch networks, SLSP paid the highest average wage in 2020 (€2,503), followed by Tatra banka (€2,124), 365.bank (€2,107) and VÚB (€2,017). Last year’s wages at SLSP might be influenced by layoffs, as the bank terminated and paid severance pay to 300 people; other banks downsized less.

OĽaNO leader Igor Matovič proposed€500 vouchers for all people over 60 if they get a first or a third vaccine dose by Christmas.

Šéf koaličnej strany OĽaNO Igor Matovič navrhol dať všetkým ľuďom nad 60 rokov poukaz na 500 €, ak sa dajú do Vianoc zaočkovať treťou dávkou alebo pôjdu na prvú dávku.

Poukazy majú podporu strán Sme rodina a Za ľudí, kým SaS tvrdí, že koalícia sa dohodla na bonuse 150 €. Poukážky kritizujú aj opozičné strany Hlas a Smer, vláda by mala

Najvyššie mzdy v bankovom sektore vlani platila centrálna banka NBS, 2.814 € (celkové mzdové náklady vrátane bonusov rozpočítané na 12 mesiacov), vypočítal Finsider. Spomedzi bánk so sieťou pobočiek najlepšie platí SLSP (2.503 €), nasleduje Tatra banka (2.124 €), 365.bank (2.107 €) a VÚB (2.017 €). Vlaňajšie mzdy v SLSP ovplyvnilo prepúšťanie (vlani banka zredukovala zamestnanosť o 300 ľudí), keď banka vyplácala odstupné. Zvyšné veľké banky redukovali zamestnanosť miernejšie.
