Ministers shoot down clean payments for security police
TALLINN- The Estonian social affairs and finance ministers have shot down a proposal by the security police to reshuffle how they are paid, Postimees reported on Sept. 3.
According to a draft law set out by the security police, official wages would increase by as much as 15 percent next year. However, security police representatives say the pay hikes would come from holiday bonuses and would not require an increase to the organization’s budget.
“The bringing of the monthly pay rates higher will entail no additional expenses and the size of the payroll will not increase. The goal is to increase transparency in the way wages are administered,” Chief Superintendent Ene Lehiste and Superintendent Olari Valtin said in the cover letter to the bill.
The social affairs ministry and the finance ministry refused to approve the plan, however, saying that it will entail additional expenses in the form of pension payments to retired officers.
