Other employee benefit expenses | 29 | 30 |
Total | 436 | 409 |
Personnel expenses increased by €27 million compared with the preceding year.
The increase in personnel expenses is mainly attributable to an increase in wages and salaries of €9 million resulting from an increase under a Collective Labour Agreement as of 1 May 2020 (3%) and 1 January 2021 (2%), an increase in pension expenses resulting from an increase in the pension contribution (€5 million) and social security contributions (€3 million). In addition, the costs of external staff have increased as a result of higher rates and a higher number of external employees. Hours worked by externally hired staff and directly attributed to own investment projects are deducted from costs of external staff as capitalised production. The amount concerned is €12 million (2020: €10 million).
WNT compliance for 2021 by Stedin Netbeheer B.V. and Enduris B.V.
The Senior Executives in the Public and Semi-Public Sector (Standards for Remuneration) Act (WNT) is applicable to Stedin Netbeheer B.V. and Enduris B.V. The applicable maximum remuneration in 2021 was €209,000. This is the general maximum remuneration.
6.2.1 Remuneration of senior executives
The members of the Board of Management of Stedin Group have an employment contract for an indefinite period. Until 1 July 2021, they were employed by Stedin Netbeheer B.V. and qualified as senior executives with employment pursuant to the WNT. As of 1 July 2021, the employment contracts were transferred to Stedin Groep Personeels B.V.; since then, they have qualified on a 100% basis as senior executives without employment. Koen Bogers immediately entered the employment of Stedin Groep Personeels B.V. at the start of his employment contract on 1 May 2021 and therefore already qualified from that date as senior executive without employment.
The senior executive of Enduris B.V. is employed by DNWG Staff B.V., on the basis of an employment contract for an indefinite period. He qualifies as a senior executive without employment on a 50% basis for the grid manager Enduris B.V. At the start of 2021, he had already filled this position for more than 12 months.
All senior executives were appointed after 2013. Therefore, no transitional rules apply.
