Michel Temers office alerted the transition team of president-elect Jair Bolsonaro about the tremendous impact of high salaries in the federal governments payroll.
Temers aides recommended changing the governments wage structure and make it similar to the private sector. They also suggested postponing salary increases slated for 2019 to 2020.
The measures are meant to curb increases in government wages in the next few years. By Temers aides calculations, a wage increase in the government payroll will cost, next year alone, R$ 4.7 billion to the public coffers.
The Ministry of Planning is conducting a study to align the governments wages to the salaries paid in the private sector.
