Fifty-five-year-olds leaving the public sector

Fifty-five-year–olds who have completed 35 years of actual pensionable service will be the threshold from which the process of redundancy will commence.

Under the regulations for redundancy included in the new bill of law, anyone from that age upwards will enter the pre-retirement stage and receive 60% of the basic salary which they had prior to leaving, without benefits.

Permanent positions of public officials who enter the reserves will be abolished in order to reduce the sector by 30%.

There are not many categories excluded, among which are the disabled with a rate of over 67% and nursing staff.

The new unified payroll determines the basic salary at 780 euros.

That salary will be formed depending on the qualifications and training of the employee. Benefits will reach 500 euros for Christmas and 250 euros for Easter and holiday pay.

However, motivation relating to the achievement of objectives will be provided, which cannot exceed 3% of the total wage bill of the previous year in any department or institution.
