Teresina City Council Approves 5.35% Salary Adjustment for Municipal Public ServantsThe Teresina City Council has officially approved a 5.35% salary adjustment for municipal public servants, a decision that has been sanctioned and published in the Official Municipal Gazette (DOM). This adjustment represents a significant change in the compensation structure for a wide range of city employees.
Key Changes and CoverageThe approved adjustment includes a notable modification to the payment schedule for the 13th salary (a year-end bonus common in Brazil). Under the new system, the first installment will be paid in the month of the employee's birthday, while the second installment will be paid at the end of the year. This change aims to provide more financial flexibility for employees throughout the year.
The salary adjustment applies to both active and retired employees serving in the direct and indirect administration of the municipality. The financial impact of this decision is substantial, with an estimated annual cost exceeding R$ 56 million.
Exclusions from the AdjustmentIt is important to note that not all municipal public servants are covered by this adjustment. Specifically excluded are community health agents, endemic disease control agents, and educators including teachers of the first and second cycles, pedagogues, and psychopedagogues from the municipal public school network of Teresina. These groups will not benefit from the 5.35% increase at this time.
This decision marks a significant development for the municipal workforce in Teresina, affecting thousands of public servants and the city's budget. The implementation of the new payment schedule for the 13th salary is expected to begin in the coming months.
