OAJ Says Judiciary Workers’ Benefits Are Safe After Leak of Nonbinding Legal Analysis

Officials say a leaked memo was a nonbinding exercise with no effect on accrued rights.

Overview

  • The OAJ reaffirmed its commitment to the current General Conditions of Work and to safeguarding the workforce.
  • The circulated text from the legal affairs office was described as a technical opinion without binding force and not adopted by the Pleno or any commission.
  • The analysis pertained solely to potential guidelines for new high‑management appointments starting September 1, 2025, in line with constitutional rules.
  • The institution stated that current personnel and those entering operational or base positions will not see changes to salaries, insurance, or other benefits.
  • Reports suggesting removal of insurance for long‑tenured staff were rejected, with the OAJ saying existing benefits remain guaranteed without suppression or cancellation.
