Valued former employee / Valued applicant outsec ag started from scratch and now has over 60 employees. Conditions like three years ago are a thing of the past. We are now ISO-9001 certified and have further developed our quality and working atmosphere. The security industry is a very competitive market and we comply with the collective labour agreement for the security industry, including wages. The fixed wages are even better than those in the retail trade or in the hotel and restaurant industry. The minimum wage for a 42-hour week is just under CHF 4,400. Higher than in the hospitality industry, etc. outsec ag is now fully digitalised, this has enabled us to work through the Corona period without interruptions or setbacks and to be there for our customers. We have invested a lot in the future of our company and employees, so that the future of outsec continues to be a success story. Not all employees can/want to see this, but the main focus for them is the salary at the end of the month. We adhere to the minimum wages and look to invest in the future, such as digitalization, etc.. outsec ag is probably the most advanced security company in Switzerland, from the logbook to key management, planning, training, event recording, etc. We are fully digitized and continue to develop. In comparison with other players in the industry, we are far ahead in terms of opportunities for employees. Many employees have company cars at attractive conditions. For management employees, we also provide a petrol card for private use, etc., etc. In the meantime, there is almost nothing missing in terms of unformed parts (but there is still room for improvement). Here, too, we are now top in comparison with other companies! The internet never forgets, but entries from three years ago are old news!

Our wages are based on the collective labour agreement for the security industry. The starting salary at 100% is now just under CHF 4,400. After each year of service, the salary increases up to a maximum of the 13th year of service. After that, the minimum income is over CHF 5,000. Many employees are given the opportunity to enter the security industry without a professional qualification, receive paid training and can develop their skills. In our view, these are not such bad conditions. However, employees often have misconceptions about the opportunities offered by the employer. As long as customers can hire security companies at dumping prices, serious companies come under pressure. The employees are the ones who suffer and more than the minimum wage according to the GAV is not possible. This is also disturbing for the employer, not only for the employee. The VSSU and its members (including us) are striving to achieve long-term improvements in the market. Step by step, this is also the case, but we and the association can't do magic either.

This statement does not quite agree, because we also have employees who have been with us for more than 50 years.
