  "account": "Companies with collective agreements that include salary guarantee clauses must apply an additional 1% increase to compensate for the rise in prices, which averages 4% annually. As of September, 3.64 million employees are protected by these clauses, representing 19% of all employees registered with the Social Security and 39% of those covered by collective agreements. The services sector has the highest number of employees protected by these clauses, with 43.3% of the total, followed by industry with 36.6%. The average salary increase agreed in collective agreements is 3%, but with inflation expected to reach 4%, companies will have to make additional payments to employees covered by these clauses.",
