Project proposes 6% progression and attendance bonus for teachers in Ponta Grossa

The Câmara Municipal de Ponta Grossa has on the agenda this Monday (19) a project that changes the rules of progression of teachers in Ponta Grossa and the payment of the prize for attendance. By the authority of the Executive Branch, Bill No. 321/2026 is scheduled for first discussion in the ordinary session.

The proposal amends Law No. 14.936/2023, which deals with the Plan of Positions, Careers and Remuneration of the Municipal Public Magisterium. Among the points are the possibility of requesting horizontal progression annually, respecting the foreseen requirements, and the express inclusion of teachers in probationary stage in the device on the award for attendance.

How would progression work?

The text establishes the possibility of requesting horizontal progression, made available annually, with a minimum interval of five years between the reference two and three, and so on. The transition between consecutive references will correspond to a readjustment of 6%, after the completion of the probationary internship and in accordance with the conditions provided for in the legislation.

The percentage is linked to the change of reference in the career. Therefore, the proposal does not establish a general and automatic readjustment of 6% per year for all teachers. Another section provides that the checks established in the third and fourth paragraphs of Article 47 are carried out annually, taking into account the period from January to December. The counting would begin in 2026, with no analysis of previous years.

Award for attendance

The draft also proposes a new wording for article 65, which includes stable teachers in probationary stages. By the proposal, the additional will be granted once every 12 months. The calculation will correspond to 1% of the National Floor of the Magisterium multiplied by the number of months in which the professional does not register any type of fault.

The payment should take place by March of the year following the period of counting.

The City Council presents justification

In the message sent to the Legislative, prefeita Elizabeth Schmidt states that the proposal seeks to update the parameters of functional progression and the systematic remuneration of teachers in probationary stages. The Executive presents the changes as measures to enhance education professionals and improve municipal management.

The project received an admissibility opinion from the Legislation, Justice and Drafting Commission and favorable demonstrations from the Finance and Works and Public Services committees. A drafting amendment from the Executive also forms part of the agenda. The inclusion on the agenda does not represent approval. The documents submitted indicate that the matter is scheduled for first discussion on Monday.
