Finance Minister Iron Murati has declared that the 13th salary for public sector employees will be paid in early 2027, as this payment is meant for with the Budget Law.
Murati has also rejected claims that municipalities have been damaged by budget review, stressing that a considerable portion of the budgetary means are dedicated to them, the IndexOnline writes.
According to him, about half of the personnel paid from the state budget work in municipalities, which are transferred means for covering 13th pay and labour experience.
As for the additional payment, the minister said it was envisioned in the Budget Law for three years now, and that the payment for 2026 was scheduled to take place at the beginning of the year.
Murati clarified that current actions involve early coverage of the budget gap, while reiterated that the 13th salary for next year will be paid in early 2027.
He added that if the budget review is approved, employees will also benefit the additional 0.5 percent for job experience, for the period from the introduction of the Pagan Law to the end of 2025.
