More than 12 thousand employees of the Judicial Agency (OJ) will benefit from the approval of the new collective pact. On March 21, Teódulo Cifuentes, president of the OJ and the Supreme Court of Justice, said that said pact was under discussion and that increases in some economic benefits that receive annually were foreseen.
The collective pact was discussed between the authorities of the OJ and representatives of the Judicial Organism Union (STOJ). The entity issued a statement in which it expressed the recent agreements.
According to the statement, an increase of Q500 was established in the Holy Week Bonus. Now, all workers will receive Q3 1,500. It was also reported that the holiday bonus will increase Q500 and the payment of a Christmas bonus in December is confirmed.
