Last week, after its presentation, the Seimas approved several draft amendments to the law, after the final adoption of which some employees may receive additional compensation.
Some are the same and some are softer
“The objectives of all these projects are to create equal opportunities to receive severance payments for dismissed officials and officials who have reached 65 years of age, if the maximum duration of service has expired, to determine the amounts of this benefit and the conditions of payment ”, spoke Beata Maliušicka-Stankevič during the presentation of the projects.
According to her, it was decided to review the compensation paid to all public servants and officials after one of the Seimas members offered additional benefits only to a part of them.
“For this, the compensation payment system for all civil servants and civil servants has been balanced. This has resulted in a complete package, because you know, you have probably learned that some civil servants receive compensation, and there are some civil servants and civil servants among they, and political trust, who do not receive this compensation ”, explained the deputy minister.
As is well known, the retirement age for all employees is gradually increased to 65 years and the required duration of insurance is 35 years. Only after reaching that age and having worked for so many years can a person expect severance pay and a 2-month pension.
However, even if this is guaranteed for all employees, some will still enjoy privileges.
For example, severance pay (and a civil servant’s pension, which will be supplemented by a normal retirement pension) will be available to civil servants in the primary system of internal services at the age of 55, and to mid-level civil servants and the staff of the Special Investigation Service at age 60.
In addition, for soldiers who have provided uninterrupted services in the national defense system for more than 5 years, the benefit in the amount of 2 months of salary can be increased 1.5 times, for more than 10 years. – 2 times, more than 20 m. – 3 times.
“The severance pay will be paid with the general appropriations approved for administrators in the state or municipal budgets in the respective year, therefore, no additional state and municipal budgetary funds will be required to implement the provisions of the bill,” he said. B. Maliušicka-Stankevič.
Money does not grow on trees
However, the explanatory memorandum for the projects states that if they were adopted and entered into force early next year, an additional € 12.7 million would have to be allocated from the state budget over the next three years. euros.
Seimas member Algirdas Sysas drew attention to the discrepancy between what the Deputy Minister says and how much money will actually be needed to implement the proposed changes.
Maybe the money on the tree is growing somewhere in your ministry? Here is the taxpayers’ money, we will allocate it through the budget, the money will still be needed. <...>
Whenever we talk about money, we take it from taxpayers and share it with others. Whether it goes through the ministry or directly through the budget, the bottom line says so: severance payments will be paid out of the approved appropriations to the managers of the state and municipal budgets approved in the respective year. Consequently, from the taxpayers, ”said the parliamentarian, adding that he did not oppose the idea of paying compensation to officials.
At the time, another Seimas Petras Čimbaras member lamented in the session that they would no longer be greeted by employees who are retiring this year.
“I proposed that project in 2019. August 28 I am very sorry that the Seimas committees, two committees, have delayed the so-called time and many people have had to leave without compensation. <...>.
I have nothing against it, but look, you talked about equality, right? Sure, the civil service was like being on the sidelines, but look, diplomats get separate pensions, judges separate. They get more money, but because of the civil service itself, you just tried hard. Doesn’t it seem like they were seriously abused and why? ”Chimbar asked the vice minister.
According to Ms Maliušicka-Stankevič, more time was needed for the severance pay to be reviewed throughout the public sector system.
Before voting on the drafts after the presentation, Mr. Chimbar proposed to speed up the entry into force of the law so that it takes effect as soon as it is signed by the President and not early next year, and with as many as possible of officials.
“Now those who have turned 65 will have to leave without permission until the new year, and after leaving on the first day of the new year, they will automatically receive a permit. Shouldn’t it be thought that this law would come into force after its adoption? The Seimas approves, submits, deliberates, adopts, the President signs, if it would not be worthwhile to determine the entry into force of the law from its adoption, although here, as a colleague said, because of those economic resources.
In fact, each institution has saved and remains, now, perhaps, and in the Seimas, how many people will leave before the New Year, but they will probably feel the same as abuse.
