Roche to increase its payroll in Switzerland by 2.3 percent

Basel, 7 December 2022

Roche is increasing the payroll for its workforce of about 14,200 employees in Switzerland by 2.3 percent with effect from 1 April 2023.

Over the last few weeks, the Roche Employees Association in Switzerland (AVR) and the Roche Basel Works Council (AKR) held discussions at Roche regarding the adjustment of the 2023 payroll.

The 2.3 percent payroll increase will be used to calculate the total amount available to managers for distribution to their staff in the form of individual, performance-based salary increases as of 1 April 2023.
