Latvian government approves 7% pay raise for healthcare workers

BC, Riga, 22.12.2015.Print version
Salaries for healthcare employees in Latvia will increase 7% in 2016, according to a bill on distribution of extra EUR 10 million for healthcare workers' wages that the government approved today, informs LETA.

Nurses' wages will increase 9% to 10%, while salaries for higher-paid healthcare employees will increase less, as will wages for unskilled workers – their wages will increase regardless thanks to a higher minimum income from 2016.

 

The amendments will come into force on January 1 next year.
