Pay deal for civil servants below inflation
Civil servants this year will see pay rise by 8% for the first six months with a further 4% for the second six months. Workers on less than TL 3500 (EUR 555) a month will get an additional TL 150 (EUR 25). Not all public sector trade unions are happy with the outcome as inflation is currently running at 16.7%. Pay in 2020 is set to increase in two instalments of 3%, although this could be increased if inflation is higher.
Civil service deal finally agreed
After several months of industrial action a new collective agreement covering the civil service was finalised in April. It is a four-year agreement that provides for a 13.2% increase in pay over the four years. The increase for 2007 will be backdated to 1 January 2007 and will be 3.6% of 3.9% depending on the employee's pay scale. Read more at > ABVAKABO

The NIPSA public service union in Northern Ireland has negotiated an equal pay deal that will benefit around 13,000 low paid civil servants. Workers in three main grades will move on to new pay structures with the changes adding around £25 million to the civil service pay bill. Administrative workers in the AA grade, for example, will move from a pay structure with a range of £13,130-£14,420 a year to one where the salaries start at £13,280 and rise to £17,108.
