Regardless of their residence status, nationality or even the sector in which they work, any employee working in Luxembourg, including seconded or cross-border employees, is subject to the labour code in force in Luxembourg.
The working conditions as well as the remuneration of the employees working in the public sector are fixed in the collective agreement of the employees of the State.
In the public sector, the salary system diverges: a law covers civil servants (Law of March 25 2015 establishing the salary system and the conditions and procedures for the advancement of civil servants), whereas a collective agreement applies to state employees whose employment contract is not governed by other legal provisions.
To date, there is no sectoral collective labor agreement for cultural professions. Nevertheless, cultural institutions such as the Philharmonic Orchestra Luxembourg (OPL) and the Philharmony have concluded a collective agreement for all employees. This resulted from the merger in 2011 of the OPL and the Philharmony, the OPL already benefitting from a collective agreement beforehand.
