This was discussed at a meeting of the Seimas Labor and Social Affairs Committee on Wednesday.
We remind you that official salaries (salaries) of politicians, judges, civil servants, civil servants, employees of state and municipal budgetary institutions are linked to the base amount approved annually.
In calculating the remuneration, this amount is multiplied by the corresponding salary coefficient, which varies according to the importance of the position held and the responsibilities.
This year, the base amount of the official salary is 176 euros (last year – 173 euros).
For example, the official salary ratio of the Prime Minister is 25.8. Thus, his usual salary, without supplement, for the year of service is 4,540.8 euros (176×25.8). The salary coefficient for an ordinary specialist can be, for example, from 8 to 10, and the official salary without subsidies can be from 1408 to 1760 euros, respectively.
Asked how much the Government will propose to increase the base salary from 2021. The Minister of Social Security and Labor, Linas Kukuraitis, spoke:
“We just realized that we were negotiating a minimum increase, but we were negotiating an increase. And why are we talking about the minimum and not the significant? Due to the fact that salaries in the public sector have shifted significantly from the private sector in the last 5 years. “
According to the minister, the rapid increase in public sector wages also requires an increase in the monthly minimum wage (MMA), on which private sector wages depend.
“In practice, the increase we are talking about, even the increase in MMA, we are practically relying on the wage growth of the public sector and, as it is growing, we are increasing MMA for the private sector. Not bad.
And, in my head, we should increase MMA more than the base size. But all the time, those salaries traveled in parallel. In this case, we have a breakdown into the public sector. Consequently, it would be incorrect to speak of an even greater increase by highlighting the growth of wages in the public sector in relation to the private sector ”, explained the Minister.
After asking exactly how much is the “minimum” increase in the base size, instead of the minister’s speech, Deputy Minister Eglė Radišauskienė: “We can, yesterday we called it: one euro.”
Thus, if the base amount of the official salary increases by 1 euro (that is, three times less than last year), next year the salary of the prime minister will increase by at least 25.8 euros, and that of an ordinary specialist in 8 to 10 euros per month.
As the basic amount is approved by a separate law, it will have to be adopted by the entire Seimas, this one or a new one, which will be elected on October 11.
According to the Department of Statistics, at the beginning of this year, more than 367 thousand people worked in the public sector. population of the country.
