The Liberal Initiative proposal was approved in Parliament so that, in 2025, the Government creates and regulates a new bonus program that will be granted to public sector workers when they save expenses. This program will replace the current one that, according to the liberals, has had “residual” results.
The new program will be called, according to the approved proposal, “Programa Poupar e Premiar (PPP)” and must meet some requirements. From the first moment, all applications, evaluations and prizes awarded must be published on a specific platform. Furthermore, the absence of proposals presented within the department or division must be justified by those responsible for these units functional, which, according to the liberals, will reinforce “everyone’s commitment to spending efficiency.” The approval occurred within the framework of the specialized evaluation of the State Budget for 2025. The PS, Livre, PCP and Bloco voted against the new program. The PAN abstained. IL, Chega and AD voted in favor.
The premium granted, in the liberal proposal, must be proportional to the effective savings generated within a maximum period of one year from its implementation. The current system, according to the information on its website, provides that the value of the incentives to be distributed to the team each year is 50% of the amount related to the reduction of expenses, up to a global annual limit of 100% of the monthly salary. invoice for the team responsible for improving efficiency.
The IL proposal establishes that the application of this program “must be accompanied by a continuous dissemination effort among all workers.”
IL maintains that the reformulation of the current system is “necessary and urgent” because the previous one has “demonstrated residual results.” “In recent analyses, the Court of Auditors identified the failure of the program, since the process is excessively slow and bureaucratic, in addition to lacking adequate disclosure,” he points out.
Liberals believe that the “PPP” will encourage “the active participation of workers, increasing the potential for savings in the public sector.”
