On Thursday 29 January 2026, FEDIL Security Services and the LCGB and OGBL trade unions signed the renewal of their collective labour agreement for the private security sector in the Grand Duchy.

The agreement applies for a period of two years, running from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2027.

According to FEDIL Security Services, the renewal of the agreement with the social partners has improved the working conditions and remuneration of more than 4,000 security and guarding staff employed by private security service companies in Luxembourg.

The main measures adopted include the following:

• the scope of the collective agreement has been redefined to include all employees in the guarding and surveillance sector, including those affected by the draft reform of the relevant legislation, once it has completed the legislative procedure;

• the continuation of the mechanism for biennial pay increases, ensuring regular salary progression in line with the social minimum wage;

• improved recognition of overtime hours, acknowledging the commitment of staff;

• an increase in annual leave for all staff covered by the collective agreement, applicable from the fifth year of service, as agreed by the social partners;

• certain adjustments to the organisation of working time.

The social partners have committed to requesting that the amendment be declared generally binding by Grand Ducal regulation, with retroactive effect from the date on which the collective agreement entered into force. This would entitle employees in the sector to demand the strict application of the conditions laid down in the collective agreement, even if their employer is not a member of the representative organisation for private security companies in Luxembourg, FEDIL Security Services.

FEDIL Security Services is a sectoral association of the Fédération des Industries Luxembourgeoises (FEDIL) and brings together the companies Brink’s Security Luxembourg, Dussmann Security, G4S Security Solutions, Securitas Luxembourg and Seris Security.
