The government maintains an annual update of salaries in the public function

The Government maintains the objective of annual update of the salaries of the public function in the bill of the Great Options Plan (GOP) for 2021.

In the project approved on Thursday by the Council of Ministers, the Executive maintains the priorities for the Public Administration, namely, the “alteration of the low remuneration policy, replacement of the annual salary update and valuation of the remuneration of workers in based on their qualifications and recognition of merit ”.

Annual salary updates in the civil service resumed in 2020, after a ten-year freeze, with widespread increases of 0.3%, but the Government has already admitted that, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the commitment may not previously fulfilled assumed increase of 1% in 2021.

In the GOP project that will now be analyzed and submitted to the opinion of the Economic and Social Council (CES), as Dinheiro Vivo had already anticipated, the Government also once again expresses its intention to “implement active early retirement policies in sectors and functions that justify it. , contributing to the rejuvenation of personnel and personnel maps ”.

The early retirement regime is one of the measures aimed at rejuvenating the public function and was already foreseen in previous GOPs, having been the subject of discussion between the Government and the union structures.

In the field of Public Administration, the Government once again defends the need to “deepen the current model of hiring and selection of senior and middle managers, through the Commission for Hiring and Selection for Public Administration (CReSAP)” and “Reactivate the evaluation of services with distinction of merit associated with the best levels of performance and reflect this distinction in benefits for the respective workers.”

In April, the parliament approved an exceptional regime in the budget process that made it possible to postpone the delivery of the Stability Program and for the presentation of the Great Options proposal to be made with the State Budget for 2021.

It is a diploma that establishes “an exceptional and temporary budget procedure regime” due to the economic and financial situation derived from the pandemic caused by the new coronavirus.

Thus, in 2020, the presentation of the Great Options law proposal (until now known as the Great Plan Options – GOP), including the multi-year budget programming, will be carried out simultaneously with the State Budget bill for 2021 ( OE2021).

This year the OE2021 proposal must be delivered on October 12, since the deadline set in the Budget Framework Law, October 10, coincides with the weekend.
