All about the extra pay for civil servants in October 2023: who will receive it? what is the amount?

ECONOMY / By Luis Moreno

October brings good news for civil servants: Starting this month, they will receive an extra increase in their payrolls following the 'Framework Agreement for a 21st Century Administration' between the Government and unions.

This additional increase has been activated after knowing the advanced inflation figures for the month of September, with an annual variation rate of the IPCA of 3.2%. Now, the Council of Ministers must approve the application of this increase and subsequently publish it in the Official State Gazette (BOE), so that, then, public employees see it reflected on their payrolls.

How much is the rise?

The salary increase will be 0.5% and will be applied retroactively from last January. The agreement indicates that employee payrolls would increase by a fixed 2.5% in 2023, with the possibility of two variable increases, of 0.5% each.

More than 3 million beneficiaries

The beneficiaries of these salary improvements will be all public employees of the state, regional or local administration.. There will be more than 3 million people who will receive this payment.
