4bn in pay hikes since 2007
And a cadre of 1,362 senior public officials, including politically appointed government advisers and spin doctors, some of whom are on more than 100,000 a year, are still in receipt of increments, despite their high salaries.
Figures released by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform show that although http://www.dolphinsofficialnflstore.com we continue to borrow more than 1bn a month to run the country, lengthofservice pay increases have continued across all departments, agencies and organisations in the public sector.
Despite Minister Brendan Howlin and the Government having to make a 3.1bn adjustment, it has emerged that 11,280 civil servants, including more than 1,300 earning 65,000plus, will receive increases under the increments scheme at a total cost of 16.5m this year.
Of the http://www.dolphinsofficialnflstore.com/51-mike-pouncey-jersey-authentic-black-limited-cheap.html 11,280, fewer than half (45 per cent) earn 35,000 or lower.
The pay bonanza for State employees was last night criticised by a leading economist, who branded the increases "disgraceful".
Jim Power, chief economist with Friends First, told the Sunday Independent: "Given that the private sector has borne the brunt of Cameron Wake Authentic Jersey the recession in terms of pay cuts and job losses, it is totally unjustifiable that these topup payments have continued.
"If the Government had any bottle it would have frozen these when it took office, but it is clear it didn't because it is afraid of the unions, who are still running the country."
Today's revelations appear to contradict the previously stated arguments put forward by Mr Howlin that removing increments would "disproportionately affect lower paid staff".
Some civil servants are getting annual wage rises of up to 2,400 for long service. For each of the years 2007 to 2011, the department said the total cost of increments across the entire public sector was 1.25bn, or 250m a year.
That figure fell to 150m last year due to mass retirements from the system and some State employees Cameron Wake Elite Jersey hitting the top end of the salary scales.
A freezing of increments had been proposed as part of the recent talks in the formation of the Haddington Road deal, but that was dropped in favour of simply delaying the pay hikes, which will still be paid in full.
