The pay increase will have retroactive effect from May 1, 2020. Fulfilling the terms of the agreement will cost Magyar Posta about HUF 6 billion this year.

On top of the pay raise, Magyar Posta earlier committed to pay its employees HUF 5.5 bln in performance bonuses, half in April and half in December.
