The Ballerics must be very rich to afford them
The “bonus” can be anything from 2% up to 10% depending on the industry or job. So, for instance, if a worker has a base salary of 1.000, after 5 years he will automatically be eligible for say a 5% raise ie 50, to be paid during the following 5 years, after which he will be eligible for another 5% on his salary of 1.050. These figures obviously do not take into account any yearly increase in his basic salary, on which his “bonus” will be calculated.
Mr Bremner, ALL Spanish employees with a full time job ( and on occasions without one ) receive a bonus, called Plus de Antigüedad. This is normally paid after 5 years, but in some industries can be after only 3. This bonus is accumulative every 5 or 3 years until they leave or retire. They also, as you may know, receive a months bonus in July and another months bonus in December. Some industries or governmen offices pay an extra 2 months, ie at Easter and in Icribee. They are also eligible for a minimum of 30 days paid holiday per year.
I was totally taken aback at the news item the other day that civil servants expected a bonus because they had been in the service for ten years or more. Are they mad, they already have a paid position with pensions and security that no other employees have in the country. In contrast when I left the semistate service in Ireland in the eighties after eleven years, I was awarded a removal of my pension ie given back my contributions and the state keep theirs, so I have no pension from those years. I in that eleven years introduced transport savings of over 25M at todays prices. My impression from reading the MDB is that government here try to waste that per annum, and they want a bonus!
