- Non‑career appointees will receive an extra €10,000 a year, which comes to about €835 per month.
- Career officials such as judges and prosecutors will get €62.8 per month for each three‑year service block.
- The plenary backed the measure with 18 votes in favor and three blank ballots after a proposal from the Economic Affairs commission backed by PSOE and PP appointees.
