PAY SUPPLEMENTS

» Concept

These are increases to the monthly compensation due to the fulfilment of functions in work positions that have more demanding conditions - in an abnormal and transitional or permanent way - with regard to other work positions characterized by identical position or similar career and category

Pay supplements are only due while there is fulfilment of functions, actual performance or as such deemed by a legislative act of the Assembly of the Republic

Supplements are translated, as a rule, in determined amounts and not in percentages of the basic salary, and are always referenced to a concrete work position and never only to the tenure of a career or category

Pay supplements are created and regulated by law or, in the case of public employment legal relationships formed by contract, by collective labour regulation instrument
