Civil servants of the Basque Autonomous Community and Navarre will receive the additional 0.5% salary increase compared to 2024, retroactively from January 1 last year, under the framework agreement signed by the Spanish government with the CCOO unions and UGT for the period 2022 -2024.
The agreement set a 2% increase for 2024, plus an additional 0.5% if the accumulated variation in the harmonized CPI (14.6% between 2022 and 2024) exceeded the fixed remuneration increase for that period (8%).
The increase will be 0.5% into force as soon as it is published in the Government Gazette (BOO).
If we add this 0.5% to the 2% increase in government employee salaries in 2024, the total compensation increase for that year is 2.5%.
