Havana/The Cuban government will redistribute already budgeted wages state positions that are not occupied among employees who are working. This is established by an agreement signed by the Council of Ministers and published on Monday in a Official Gazette Extraordinary.
Legal prose does not hide that the measure is aimed at being an “incentive to the
Stability of the workforce “before the” sustained increase in the labor fluctuation of the budgeted sector “, that is, the loss of human resources in the state sector.
“Additional payment and salary are considered all legal purposes, without its application constituting payment system”
The decision does not imply a salary increase, and this is clarified by one of the articles: “Additional payment and salary are considered all legal purposes, without its application constituting payment system.”
It will be applied in all occupational categories in the budgeted sector, including units with special treatment ”(such as military or doctors in mission). However, there are exceptions to this extra payment: “The organisms and agencies of the central administration of the State and national entities that have approved salary treatments differentiated from salary increases, as well as to the assistance units and educational institutions whose health professionals and teaching staff, receive the benefit of maximum effort and that of educational work overload.”
According to the resolution, it will be the chiefs of the different entities who evaluate that “the inejection of the salary fund is objective” and guarantee the redistribution with the salary expenses plan assigned for the fiscal year. The distribution will be made through an internal regulation that will prepare the board of directors of each unit, and that will include the periodicity of the payment.
The regulation must also contain the “source of financing”, that is, the amount of “inejecutions” and therefore money to distribute
“It can be granted only once or for the period of time determined, according to the characteristics of the work or the result that is stimulated, without this having a permanent, or massive character,” the text insists. The regulation must also contain the “source of financing”, that is, the amount of “inejecutions” and therefore money to distribute, and the procedure to grant it, which will also depend on different factors. The “high performance criteria, differences with greater recognition of highly qualified human resources, the occupation of greater responsibility positions, the competency management approach and the individual distribution mechanism” will mark the differences.
