The corporations maintain the salary scales of the previous mandate but update them with the inflation rate.
The change of communal cycle after the elections of 17 December has not implied any modification of the remuneration policy in relation to the elected officials. The councils of La Massana, Sant Julià, Escaldes-Engordany and Encamp maintain the same salary scale as the councillors and councillors of the majority and the minority, but they have increased it by the CPI, as has been done for the rest of the public servants. The increase of 4.6% corresponding to the inflation rate at the end of the year 2023 means that the salaries of the highest councillors of the four corporations will stand at 5,207.55 euros gross for the laureate councillors and 5,816.35 euros gross for the encamped councillors. In the absence of Ordino and Canillo communicating their decision, Andorra la Vella is the only parish administration to have opted for a freeze, but it is also the institution with the highest salaries. According to the information provided a month ago, the gross salary of the councillors is 6,629 euros. The gross salary implies that the 6.5% contribution to the CASS, which is paid by the employee, has not been subtracted.
On the lower end of the scale are the Lauredians, Cerni Cairat and Sofia Cortesao, but close behind are the Escaldes councillors, Rosa Gili and Quim Dolsa, with a salary that, after the update, stands at 5,277.5 euros. A hundred euros more are the salaries of Eva Sansa and Roger Fité in La Massana, with a monthly salary of 5,377.2. It should be remembered that in all cases this is a salary to be multiplied by the three payments they receive during the year.
As for the salaries of the councillors, the corporations differentiate between the remuneration of those who form part of the majority and those who are in the opposition or, in the case of La Massana and Encamp, between the salary of a councillor who chairs a committee and one who does not occupy this position. Following the above order, in Sant Julià the gross salary of the three councillors of the minority is 1,253.66 euros. The seven councillors in the majority receive 1,957.35 euros. There is no one with exclusive dedication, according to the corporation. In Escaldes, the minority councillors are above the laureates (1,391.7 after the increase), and the majority councillors are below (1,793.4). In La Massana, the councillor without the presidency of the committee has a salary of 1,344.31 euros, and the one who holds these functions in perception has a salary of around 1,900 (1,893.24). Finally, in Encamp, the councillors who preside over a committee have a salary of 1,959.19 euros, while the rest earn 1,653.07 euros. Andorra la Vella is once again the corporation with the highest salaries.
