Austerity. The management of the Portuguese post announced that it would apply, to the letter, the government’s recommendations regarding the planned pay cuts in the civil service within the framework of the 2011 austerity budget. The total wage bill will be cut by 5% and State-owned companies can apply the measure while following their own scale. The cut applies to gross basic pay of €1,500+. The post has decided to apply a cut scale ranging between 3.5 and 10% depending on the levels. Out of a total of 12,000 employees, 2,800 should be concerned.
