Even though the results of the calculation of the new SAP, introduced in January 2021, are artificially capped (Eurozone HICP plus 0.2%),resulting in a distorted salary adjustment, it is neverthelesscrucial to perform the underlying calculation with all updated elements, including housing costs in our [23:35] schestowitz__ places of employment.Therefore, we strongly encourage you to participate in the survey and provide accurate answers.Please consider carefully the monthly cost of charges e.g. including ground tax (for owners).
