“The decision is made in 2018. In May. I am referring to the Civil Service Law, which entered into force on January 1, 2019. <...> The Board did not decide anything new with its decisions, it simply implemented that law “, said a member of the Seimas in the program” Delfi diena “.
“Until now, simply due to lack of funds, because the Seimas Foreign Ministry did not have the funds appropriately allocated, that law has not been implemented,” Saudargas said.
According to him, ways will be sought to increase wages and more.
“I believe that soon we will have a new Chancellor of Seimas, we will look for optimization opportunities, how to save more funds and allocate them to salaries,” said the deputy of Seimas.
Agnė Širinskienė, a member of the Lithuanian Greens and Peasants faction, says that increasing the salaries of parliamentary assistants makes sense, as they are subject to high demands.
“A frequent member of the Seimas tends to hire lawyers who can help him write the legislation. Try to hire a lawyer with more experience in Vilnius, who can read in a foreign language and do the analysis of legal acts from other countries, for 600 or 800 euros, ”said A. Širinskienė.
“The increase in salaries will definitely go in the direction of improving quality, when the Seimas members find it easier to agree with the people they invite to work,” the Seimas member is convinced.
According to her, it is also necessary to think about increasing the salaries of the employees of the offices of the Seimas committees.
“The workload in the Legal Committee is enormous, people have to work both at night and at home. These are professional attorneys. And we pay them very little, “said A. Širinskienė on the program” Delfi diena “.
Opened the opportunity to raise salaries
On January 6 and 20, the Seimas Board annulled its previous decisions, which established a specific salary coefficient for public officials of political trust: parliamentary assistants, advisers, faction rapporteurs, advisers to the vice president of the Seimas and the leader of the opposition .
From these coefficients the amount of the official salary is calculated.
According to the BNS, the annulled decisions established that the ratio of the official salary coefficient of the faction rapporteurs is 8.3, the sum of the position coefficients of the deputies of the vice presidents of the Seimas is 14, and the sum of the positions of the three assistant members of the Seimas.
When they were revoked, the statutory wage coefficients remained in force and their maximum limit is much higher than the previous coefficients.
For example, according to the decision of the Board, the official salary of the vice president of the Seimas was 2,478 euros, and now it is possible to increase it to 3,186 euros per month without taxes. The salary of a political group speaker can range between 1469 and 2389 euros.
Requests agreed with the elders of the Seimas factions to increase the salaries of the rapporteurs of the Seimas faction to the coefficient of 9.5 and requests agreed with the vice presidents of the Seimas to increase the salaries of the deputies of the Seimas have already been submitted. Seimas deputies to the coefficient of 16.5, “BNS was informed by the Seimas Press Service.
Multiplying these coefficients by the base salary of € 177 shows that the salaries of these politically exposed civil servants will increase by € 185 and € 442, respectively, before tax.
Likewise, the salaries of parliamentary assistants and advisers will be increased.
For all of them, a supplement for work in the public function is added to the official salary. Its size depends on the size of the official salary: the higher it is, the stronger the supplement.
