Civil servant and retiree salary increase rates announced

With the 2023 inflation picture becoming clear, the salary increase rates for civil servants and retirees have been determined.

Inflation closed the year 2023 at 64.77%. The inflation rate for the last 6 months was recorded at 37.57%.

HOW MUCH OF A RAISE WILL SSK AND BAĞ-KUR RETIREES RECEIVE?

For SSK and Bağ-Kur retirees, inflation figures are the determining factor for salary increases. Retirees are entitled to a raise equal to the inflation rate calculated every 6 months. Since inflation reached 37.57% in the second half of the year, this rate has become the basis for the retirees' salary increase.

SALARY INCREASE RATE FOR CIVIL SERVANTS AND CIVIL SERVANT RETIREES

Civil servants and civil servant retirees receive an inflation adjustment in addition to their collective bargaining agreement raise. Having received a 6% collective bargaining raise in July, civil servants and retirees are entitled to an inflation adjustment for the amount exceeding this rate.

Civil servants and civil servant retirees have become entitled to an inflation adjustment of 29.79%.

Civil servants and civil servant retirees will also receive a 15% collective bargaining raise in January. Thus, the total salary increase rate in January will be 49.25%.

"50 PERCENT INCREASE FOR CIVIL SERVANTS AND CIVIL SERVANT RETIREES"

Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz had previously announced the raise rate they envisioned for civil servants and civil servant retirees.

Yılmaz had stated, "We anticipate an increase of around 50 percent for civil servants and civil servant retirees. We will stand by our retirees with all the means at our disposal."
