This week, ASPP received the ruling of the Contentious-Administrative Court of the Lisbon Circle that, like Oporto, was correct for the two thousand main agents of the PSP, sanctioned between March 2010 and December 2011 in the then new table of remuneration.
“It made sense for the Government to order the payment of this amount by 2021 and we hope that it will not delay the decision again, after attempts at dialogue that forced us to go to court,” said the president of the ASPP, Paulo Rodrigues, to the Lusa agency.
The manager explained that when the new PSP career statute came into force in 2010, the salary table was updated, with the main agents receiving a monthly salary of 1,150 euros.
On that occasion, eight hundred police officers were promoted to that category and their salaries were updated.
However, the Government did not update the salaries of two thousand PSP agents, who were already main agents before the new statute came into effect and who continued to receive salaries of 950 and 980, according to the old salary table.
In 2011, after meetings with the ASPP, the Government got to update the salary of these two thousand main agents, without, however, paying arrears between March 2010 and December 2011.
After unsuccessful attempts to resolve the problem, the ASPP appealed to the courts to “restore legality”, having already received three favorable judicial decisions, the last of which was from the Administrative Court of the Lisbon Circle, which came this week to order the State the payment of these retroactive with interest.
“The amounts for each agent can amount to 2,500 euros, in some cases, and 1,800 euros in others,” underlined Paulo Rodrigues.
