Maneuver: tightening of magistrates' salary increases, criteria revised

The maneuver also affects the salaries of magistrates. After the sentences that rejected the previous calculation systems, the government rewrites the mechanism that links the salaries of state officials, lawyers and prosecutors to those of other public employees.

Article 67 introduces two corrections intended to have an impact from 2027. The first concerns Istat's calculations: the increases will be determined through a "weighted average", which will take into account the number of employees in each category, rather than giving them all the same weight.

The second excludes from the calculation the "arrears components", i.e. the sums paid for renewals arriving late, to avoid them ending up being recognized twice.
