5% salary increase for civil servants: pending elections
The Government meets with the unions representing public employees to explore the possibility of approving the revaluation before the general elections on November 29. At the beginning of the year, the extra 0.5% for 2026 due to the CPI and the annual increase of 4.5% should be approved.
The Spanish Government is meeting with unions representing public employees to discuss the possibility of approving a salary increase before the general elections on November 29. The increase, which would affect 3.5 million workers, is part of a previously agreed-upon plan that includes a 0.5% extra increase in 2026 and a 4.5% increase in 2027.
The unions, including CSIF, are pushing for the government to approve the increases through a royal decree before the elections, which would require a cost of 10,000 million euros. The government has confirmed that it will increase the minimum interprofessional salary and revalue pensions, and is now exploring the possibility of doing the same for public employees.
