Public employees, arriving increases up to 300 euros in municipalities, provinces and regions (only if they have the accounts in order)

Municipalities, metropolitan cities, provinces and regions will be able to unlock the increases in the accessory fund for the staff, exceeding the roof linked to the 2016 spending levels. It provides for it an amendment of the speakers, inserted in the law of conversion of the PA decree and approved on Thursday 17 April in the Commission, which It allows you to increase the stable component of the bottom of decentralized resources and organizational positions of up to 48% of the total expenditure for salaries 2023. But this will not be worth for everyone. Let’s see why.

Not all local authorities will be able to do so

The resources to finance this increase in spending must be found by municipalities, provinces, metropolitan cities and regions. In fact, the amendment does not provide for any additional allocation. So The possibility of increasing this component will be linked to the condition of the budgets of the individual entities. Essentially Only local authorities with accounts in order will be able to guarantee the increases to their employees. And this risks creating disparities between local administrations, he warns the FP CGIL. « The amendment has the big problem not to allocate one more euro and will aggravate the gap between those entities that can afford to invest in the staff (few) and those who will not be able to do it (most) », writes the union in a note. Furthermore, CGIL is always noticed, the possibility of increasing chambers of commerce, municipal unions are excluded from the possibility of increasing And all the other entities of the local functions sector that are not common, provinces and regions and « affects the calculation of the hiring capacities for which today an increase in accessory wage will determine a reduction in the ability to assume entities ».

The effect on salaries: 300 euros more per month

To calculate the impact of the new standard on wages of the employees of local authorities is the Sole 24 hours, according to which The increase of up to 48% would increase by 1.5 billion the salaries of non -executive staff of the Municipalities and 300 million those of the employees of the other territorial bodies. « The employees of the municipalities without the management stars are 382 thousand, so a per capita division would produce an average increase of 3,926 euros gross per year, 302 euros for 13 months », writes the Sole 24 hours.

The gap between local authorities and ministries

The Agency for the negotiating representation of public administrations (Aran) had long asked to overcome the roof to the accessory treatment provided for in article 23, paragraph 2, of Legislative Decree 75/2017, to give local authorities the possibility of improving the accessory remuneration of employees, reducing the escape to the central administrations. Even Anci and Upi had asked to overcome the roof at the 2016 accessory salary. « The main cause of the reduced attractive ability of the municipalities, provinces and metropolitan cities compared to the other PA lies in a lower overall remuneration level, also in the face of greater responsibilities and tasks, a circumstance aggravated by rules intended to increase the competitiveness gap of local authorities against the ministries, such as the one that allows the exceeding of the limits to economic treatments accessories only for managers and ministerial employees », had written. The president of the ANCI, Gaetano Manfredi, and the president of Upi, Pasquale Gandolfi, In a letter to the Minister of Public Administration Paolo Zangrillo.

Majority: « We sanction a historical injustice »

« We intervened to remedy a historical injustice, to reduce the remuneration gap between the central functions and that of local functions, granting municipalities, provinces, metropolitan cities and regions in financial balance the opportunity to also significantly increase the salaries of workers and workers with the so -called accessory wages », declare The deputies of Fratelli d’Italia, Marta Schifone, of the League, Tiziana Nisini, and of Forza Italia, Paolo Emilio Russo. The fact remains that only municipalities with solid budgets will be able to increase wages and attract qualified professionalism, while the others will remain behind.
