Africa-Press – Angola. The additional remuneration decreed by the President of the Republic will allow that, from the month of June this year, no public employee will have a net salary of less than 100 thousand kwanzas, highlighted this Saturday the national director of Labor, António Estote.
He said that, in his decree of April 19th, President João Lourenço determined an additional remuneration of 30 thousand kwanzas, from June 1st, for public servants and administrative agents of the general regime of public function.
António Estote gave an example that, currently, a cleaning assistant in the Public Administration receives a net salary of 69 thousand kwanzas, but that, with the subsidies from remote areas, he will earn 138 thousand kwanzas, and the supplement “will not be added” to the base salary.
The same decree, he highlighted, also establishes an increase for higher education teaching career staff and is part of a set of measures that the Angolan Government has been implementing to improve remuneration policy in Public Administration.
According to the director, the implementation of this remuneration measure will allow military and civilian medical personnel to earn a net salary of up to one million and eight hundred thousand kwanzas.
For the higher education teaching career, the source explains that a supplementary remuneration corresponding to 100% of the salary was set.
For example, he continued, a professor with a net salary of 669 thousand kwanzas will receive a minimum of one million kwanzas, as a result of a salary supplement of 495,282.40 kwanzas.
He recalled that, alongside these initiatives, the Executive began, in February this year, payments of subsidies for remote areas.
According to António Estote, whenever there is budgetary slack, the resources will be used to increase the remuneration of public servants and expenses of a social nature, as a way of improving the distribution of income and the quality of the public service provided to citizens.
The director explained that, additionally, in line with the investment in infrastructures in the health and higher education sectors, located in type A and B municipalities, the remuneration component of professionals in these sectors should be improved, as they do not are covered by subsidies in remote areas.
This same principle of reducing expenses to improve the salary situation of workers will be used by public companies, he said.
From the national director’s perspective, these measures provide greater value to healthcare professionals, teachers and researchers.
