This bonus was paid with the salary for June 2023.
From July 2023 to February 2024, a further 220 euros will follow each month, making a total amount of 3,000 euros.

The increase in table fees is planned for March.

Following this, a linear increase of 5.5 percent in the new amount is planned.

The classification of public sector employees into a pay grade depends on various aspects, including the degree acquired and the professional experience gained.
A few examples provide insight into how much more public sector employees will earn from March
