Togo cross-industry collective agreement (CCIT), 2026 revision

Version and dates
Public signing announced by the CNP on 30 April 2026. Articles 3-b and 74 make effectiveness conditional on the day after filing with the court registry. LQDD reports filing on 19 May and effectiveness on 20 May 2026; the filing date has not been independently checked with the registry.
Scope
Article 1 concerns employers and workers governed by the Labour Code in businesses operating in Togo. Article 3-c addresses coordination with a more favourable sectoral agreement. Do not extend this scope to employees governed by a public-service statute without examining their regime.
Illustrative case to check
When hiring in a services business in Lomé, first examine the CCIT scope and look for a sectoral or company agreement. The employee’s job title alone does not determine the agreement.
Checks before applying
Do not automatically reuse 2011 article numbers or pay scales. Check the signed and filed copy, classification and pay appendices, and more favourable terms. This directory does not modify the site’s salary calculations.
Documentary references
Articles 1 to 4: scope, replacement, effectiveness and acquired benefits. Article 35: payslips; article 36: overtime; article 40: seniority; article 49: leave. Appendices I and II: classifications and pay scale.

How do you identify the applicable agreement?

  1. 1

    Identify the employer and employment relationship

    Identify the business activity, any free-zone approval and the worker’s status. Compare these facts with the text’s scope and exclusions, rather than relying on the job title.

    Source : ccitSource : zoneSource : commerce
  2. 2

    Identify overlapping instruments

    Examine the CCIT, sectoral instruments and company-specific agreements. Article 3-c of the consulted CCIT refers to a more favourable sectoral agreement; articles 2 and 4 address minimum terms and acquired benefits. A title alone does not resolve overlaps.

    Source : ccitSource : banquesSource : assurances
  3. 3

    Verify the enforceable version

    Request the signed and filed copy, its appendices, amendments and, where relevant, extension instruments. Confirm effectiveness and any replacement or termination with the registry, labour authority or signatories.

    Source : ccitSource : depotSource : zone-avenant
  4. 4

    Connect the provisions to the actual case

    Check classification, contractual minimum pay, allowances, working time, leave and notice under the applicable version. A site market-salary benchmark is not a collectively agreed minimum; no historical scale in this directory is automatically used by the calculators.

Sources and verification method

Entries distinguish consulted texts from references only identified in a catalogue, announcement or secondary source. A link to a reproduction is not official certification. Desk research does not replace checking signatures, filing, extension, amendments and any termination with the court registry, labour authority or signatories. No agreement is inferred merely because an industry exists.

Editorial summary: Kernel. Practical cases are illustrative, not determinations of applicability. English translations are informative; the original text prevails. This information is not legal advice.

Common questions

Which collective agreement should you consult in Togo in 2026?

Start with the revised CCIT whose public signing was announced on 30 April 2026, then check sectoral and company agreements matching the employer. Effectiveness depends on filing; the date of 20 May 2026 is reported by LQDD and has not been directly verified with the registry in this directory.

Does this list contain every collective agreement currently in force in Togo?

No. This directory contains 13 documentary references: 11 texts titled collective agreements, one amendment and one company agreement. Some copies are incomplete. Neither national completeness nor each text’s current enforceability is certified; unpublished agreements may be missing.

Where can you read the texts and download the cross-industry agreement?

Each entry links to the consulted reproduction. The 2026 CCIT PDF is hosted by LQDD, a third-party publisher, not by the court registry. For legal use, obtain an authenticated copy and its appendices from the competent authorities or signatories.

Is a sectoral agreement selected solely by occupation?

No. The consulted scopes depend on the employer’s activity and may include exclusions or special status, such as free-zone approval. An accountant employed by a pharmacy and an accountant employed by a bank are not automatically covered by the same text.
