Chamber overrides veto and maintains gratification for education workers in remote regions
With 18 votes against the veto, the measure provides monthly gratification for professionals working in hard-to-reach schools and moves to promulgation by the Chamber's president
At this Wednesday's regular session (21), the Plenary of Câmara Municipal de Ponta Grossa (CMPG) has overturned the prefectural veto on Law No. 16,092, Bill No. 250/2026, with 18 votes against, which provided for greater equity and remuneration justice to public employees in the Municipal Secretariat of Education who work in locations far from the administrative headquarters of the Municipality of Ponta Grossa.
In the justification of the veto, the city council argues that the councilors increased the gratification values in relation to the original proposal of the Executive, raising the costs foreseen for the benefit. The measure seeks to compensate the servants of the Municipal Secretariat of Education who work in schools located in regions of difficult access, through a monthly gratification that would replace the payment of hours in itinere, related to the displacement of professionals.
The text also points out that the increase in values was not accompanied by an update of the budgetary-financial impact study, which, according to the City Hall, compromises compliance with the requirements of the Tax Responsibility Law. In addition, the municipal administration states that the changes may result in increased personnel expenditure, contrary to the initial forecast that the gratification would replace an existing expenditure.
Now the text follows for the promulgation of the mayor, Julio Kuller (PL), maintaining the gratification of the servers.
