Review Of Salaries Up To 5,000 Euros
Government Proposes A 8% Increase For Wages Up to 1,500 Euros And Gradual, At A Rate of -0.7% Every 300 Euros
Salary Review Up To 5,000 Euros Next Year. This Is The Proposal That The Government Has Presented To Unions And Employers in The Face of The Inability of Economic And Social Agents to Reach An Agreement. Specifically, The Government's Proposal Foresees a 7% Increase in The Minimum Wage up To 1,500 Euros, And Gradually, Reducing The Increase By 0.7% Every 300 Euros, Up To 5,000, As Explained Yesterday By The Minister Spokesperson, Eric Jover, at The Press Conference After The Council Of Ministers. In This Way, Salaries Of Between 1,200 and 1,500 Euros Per Month Will Increase By 7%; Between 1,500 And 1,700, 6.5%; Between 1,700 and 1,900, 6%, And so Progressively Until Reaching The Last Band, Between 3,900 And 5,000, in Which The Rise Will Be 0.7%.
The Minister Spokesperson Wanted To Make it Clear That The Proposal Can Still Undergo Changes If Unions And Employers, Who Received The Document Yesterday Afternoon, Reach an Agreement To Make Modifications. In This Sense, Jover Indicated That "We Have Forced Meetings Between Unions And Employers To Find a Solution That Was not Good For Either Party But Acceptable To Both, But It Has Not Been Possible And That Is Why The Government Takes the Decision to Present This Proposal". However, Jover Added That "it Is Not Definitive" Because First a New Meeting With the Economic And Social Agents is Needed to Find out Their Opinion. "We Make This Proposal But He Leave Everything Open in Case Unions And Employers Want to Make Contributions in a Consensual Manner on The Basis of This Document", Indicated Jover.
In The Event, However, That The Positions Remain Very far Apart - As Everything Points to Happening -, "The Government Will Take the Decision Unilaterally Because The Calendar is Already Very Fair And it would Not be Worth Waiting". Yes, The Calendar Will be Forced if, On The Contrary, "There are Signs of Rapprochement" Within the Framework of The Economic And Social Council. Until Now, Unions And Employers Have Remained Firm in Their Initial Position And There has Only Been an Approach By The CEA In Terms Of Raising The Minimum Wage, But Not The Rest of The Payroll, So Everything Think That There Will Be No News. The government Has left Them Room to Work On It Until Next Week.
The Minister Stated That "The Government is Not happy to Make Proposals Unilaterally", But Given The Lack Of Agreement "We Have not Shirked Our Responsibilities". In This Dense, Jover Considered that with The Measure the Government "Minimizes The Possible Gap" Between The Public Sector - which Will Indeed Have an Increase of 8% -
Proposal:
1. Increase of 8% Of The Minimum Salary Up to 1,500 Euros:
The Government Proposes to Apply The Total Of The IPC, Which is Estimated to Be 8%, To Salaries Ranging From the Minimum To 1,500 Euros Per Month.
2. Every 300 Euros The Percentage Drops By 0.7%:
The Increase Will Decrease By 0.7% For Every 300 Euros. Thus, From 1,500 To 1,700 it Will Rise By 7.5%, From 1,700 to 1,900, By 7%, And so On Progressively.
3. The Ceiling Will Be Set At 5,000 Euros:
The Executive Sets The Ceiling At 5,000 Euros, So The Last Band That Will Have An Increase Will Be That Of 3,900 To 5,000 Euros, With a 0.7% Increase.
