The Minister of Economy and Finance, Max Tonela, said today in the Assembly of the Republic (AR), that all the problems verified in the implementation of the Single Wage Scale (TSU) "are solvable".

"As for the concerns raised by the various professional groups, we have noted that some of them are valid. Some stem from flaws identified in payroll processing and are therefore correctable. Some derive from interpretation and require clarification or improvement of this new model. And others result from the management of expectations that have been generated around the process since its conception," said the Minister, when clarifying the causes of the demonstrations in the civil service.

Tonela also said that everything is ensured for salary payments to occur "from the 11th" of each month. And he explained that the delay in the payment of wages in October - the first month of payments based on the TSU - is due to the late approval of the TSU.

"Regarding the first month of October, we cannot lose sight of the fact that the punctual revision of the law that approves the TSU only occurred on October 7th and the respective publication on the 10th of the same month, which was determinant for everything else that happened," he said.

The Governor said that, despite social and technological adversities, it was possible to start paying salaries in October and process about 5,750 leaves in the civil service.

The salary reform aims to value and retain the best cadres in the state apparatus; to correct the salary imbalances between civil servants with similar functional requirements and to eliminate the proliferation of own pay statutes approved in a discriminatory way, recalled Max Tonela.

The minister was speaking today in parliament in the urgent session requested by the Renamo parliamentary bench in the face of threats to paralyze the civil service.
