Retired or pre-retired officials they will also receive the extraordinary premium that the Government paid active public workers last fall. An economic bonus proposed as a compensatory measure for the years in which employees of the central administration have not received the performance management complement (GAdA) and that turned on retired workerswho claim the right to collect it because they were also affected by the removal of the system that evaluated staff productivity. In fact, the issue has already been the subject of formal requests to Public Function (denied) and administrative resources in response to this rejection. In response to the demands, the ministry argued – as collected by theUSdA in a statement – that the issue was still being analyzed. The union complained about the contradiction involved in rejecting the claim when there was still no definitive criterion and accused the Government to act in such a wayimprovised” and “incoherentGovernment sources confirmed that the appeals will also not succeed due to a legal issue, but the formula has already been decided for meet the demands after concluding that it was just to compensate them as well workers who once stopped receiving that supplement, despite the fact that they are no longer part of the staff. And it will be done with a calculation that will take into account the period between the suspension of the GAdA and the ex-employee’s retirement date.
Ex-employee appeals will not prosper as a matter of law
Easy calculations indicate that they will benefit 650 former public workers and that the payment will amount to one million euros. The payment of the money will not be imminent; will be foreseen in the law of the budget of 2027 and, as in the case of active officials, it will be distributed in a single payment. The average amount of the premium is therefore of 1,538 eurosbut it will not be uniform because it depends on the years in which they were affected by the suppression of the GAdA each of the 650 beneficiaries.
The salary agreement
The extraordinary premium was one of the points of the agreement signed between the Government and civil servants unions for salary revaluation. It was also paid in a single payment and assumed three million euros distributed between the 1,640 civil servants of the general administration and of justice (61% of the total) that they had a right to it. Because in order to collect it, you had to accumulate at least seven years of seniority from the time you won the fixed position and until the publication of the decree that regulated the payment, in mid-October last. Seniority in the position is what has measured what each public employee has perceived. To the most veterans, with 17 or more years of experience, the maximum has been applied to them: one 5.5% on the annual salary. From this cap the amount went down, until 0.5% on the annual remuneration of workers with seven or eight years of career. The benefited workers had to be active, according to the first decision taken.
The executive has concluded that retired employees are also entitled
In the statement of reasons for the aforementioned decree, the Government fencing that made up for the years without GAdA and the delay in the approval of the new remuneration structure with “a timely and extraordinary measure, of a retributive nature, consisting of a single payment as a productivity supplement to the official staff of theGeneral Administration and the Administration of Justicein accordance with budgetary availability, which takes into account the years during which it has not been able to participate in the stages and cycles of the performance evaluation”. A motivation that has now concluded that it must take into account retirees. So far the only retired public workers benefiting from the wage agreement have been retirees and pre-retirees of the 2025whose pension has been increased by 10%.
