Corrientes plans to announce a new raise for public employees in October
Governor Juan Pablo Valdés said there will be a new salary increase before year-end. He said the decision will depend on revenue collection and economic trends.
The governor of Corrientes, Juan Pablo Valdés, confirmed that the province will grant a new salary increase to public employees in the provincial public administration before the end of the year.
According to Perfil, the governor said the decision will be made in October, when the provincial government has a clearer picture of revenue collection and economic indicators.
Valdés also said the increase could be in double digits, although he clarified that this will depend on whether the province manages to achieve the savings needed to meet that target or receives higher revenue from the equalization of revenue-sharing transfers.
According to what Perfil published, the governor recalled that the last general adjustment was applied in June, before the payment of the mid-year bonus, along with updates to family allowances and other pay items. So far this year, workers have received a 16% increase.
In statements to radio Dos cited by Perfil, Valdés also said it is still not resolved whether there will be one or two salary adjustment installments before the end of the year, since that decision will be tied to the behavior of provincial resources.
