The government will add 7% to the salary of police officers and prison guards

The Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Public Security have reached an agreement on the payment of the addition of "occupational insecurity" to all police officers, prison guards and police and IPS retirees, at an average rate of 7%, which will come from the budgets of civilian ministries, education, health and welfare services provided by the state. Starting from the budget of 2019. The estimated cost of the agreement for the state budget will reach an average of NIS 1.2 billion per year and will be spread out over 15 years and beyond the fixed annual salary increase of NIS 735 million, the state will retroactively refund the additional addition Since 2006, for a total of NIS 7 billion.
In the framework of the negotiations it was agreed to deploy the retroactive payment in installments to be completed from 2019 to 2034. For example, in 2019 the retroactive payment will amount to NIS 600 million and in 2020 it will increase to NIS 800 million. And starting from 2020 will be paid in full.
In total, the government will be required to pay the police over the next 15 years almost NIS 20 billion for the additional salary originally earmarked for career soldiers in the IDF, in addition to the "lack of job security" the Finance Ministry agreed to give the IDF in 2006 in exchange for the army's agreement to reduce the number Permanent staff in thousands of positions. The Finance Ministry forgot to state explicitly that it was limited only to career soldiers, and that the other members of the security forces, whose salaries were attached to the salaries of the career soldiers, demanded that it be accepted by virtue of a ministerial committee decision of 1979. The officials responsible for this omission have long been not working in the Finance Ministry. Those who are supposed to be accountable will never give it. The Regional Labor Court accepted the petition filed by the police and the IPS, and the state appealed the ruling to the National Labor Court on the grounds that the police and the Prisons Service actually have job security because the two organizations have never had large-scale layoffs. That the court rejected an appeal filed by the state on a similar ruling given in favor of GSS and Mossad pensioners. The Justice Ministry has estimated that the only chance to succeed in the petition is whether the government will adopt a decision explicitly restricting the additional salary paid to career soldiers
