The Commission for the Framework Implementation of the Single Salary Table (TSU) has proposed that the government reduce remuneration, including benefits, for state leaders and sovereign bodies.
According to Deputy Minister Impissa, the government adopted the suggested measures and recommended that the Commission present, within 15 days, proposals for measures to be implemented in accordance with the advised measures.

In its first session of 2023, the Council of Ministers considered the preliminary assessment report of the impact of the implementation of the Single Salary Table (TSU), referring to the year 2022, prepared by the Framework Commission.

The Commission suggested the adoption of corrective policy measures, with emphasis on the reduction of remuneration, including benefits for senior members of the state and sovereign bodies.

“The reduction in remuneration (salary, supplements and perks) of [members of] the state’s senior leaders and sovereign bodies [has] the objective of reducing the verified salary discrepancies in relation to lower levels,” deputy minister of State Administration and Civil Service Inocêncio Impissa revealed.

The Commission also finds that the criteria and procedures for framing functions of directorates, leadership and trust also need to be revised. The report assessed at this Tuesday’s cabinet meeting also suggests harmonising the payment of supplements to the members of Provincial Assemblies.

The recommendation, Impissa added, includes “reviewing the criteria and procedures for framing employees who exercise management, leadership and trust functions, and ensuring the payment of supplements to members of provincial assemblies in the regime in which they are [currently] processed”.

According to Deputy Minister Impissa, the government adopted the suggested measures and recommended that the Commission present, within 15 days, proposals for measures to be implemented in accordance with the advised measures.

The reduction in remuneration (salary, supplements and perks) of members of senior state leaders and sovereign bodies aims to reduce salary discrepancies verified with lower levels.

Assessment of the qualification process completed in December and of the amounts paid to each employee, with the aim of assessing the level of legal compliance.

Elaboration and distribution of individual salary sheets containing information on the final qualification of employees, their salaries, supplements and respective discounts as part of the completion of the qualification process at TSU.

Proceed with the process of analysing and updating sectoral and national professional qualifiers in order to adjust them to the current legal framework.
