Overview
- Castilla y León will apply a 4% rise in the January payroll (2.5% for 2025 plus 1.5% for 2026) and will include a separate item to pay 2025 arrears.
- The region also plans to advance the December salary and the extra payment before Christmas, estimates the total impact at about €400 million, and anticipates budget changes and a decree law to implement the increases.
- Extremadura will make the 2.5% hike effective as soon as possible, with January as the deadline if December processing is not feasible, and will convene a negotiation table next week.
- Extremadura estimates €68.5 million in 2025 costs and about €42 million in 2026, with a further €8 million pending from a 2020 commitment.
- Cantabria will pay the retroactive 2.5% in January after payroll updates, covering roughly 27,000 workers, with an estimated €35 million for 2025 and more than €56 million including the 2026 increase; unions continue to press for rapid, uniform application.
