Another reason for increasing the minimum wage is the fact that the 10,000,000 euros earmarked for the local elections, if we divide them into about 150 euros gross for increasing the minimum wage, we get 66,666, if we divide it into the months of October, November and December, or 3 months, we get 22,222 or about 22,222 workers who receive a salary equal to the minimum wage receive an increase of 500 euros net minimum wage!
At the same time, with nearly 10,000,000 euros, contributions for the additional increase in the minimum wage can be subsidized, which for a 6,000 denars net increase in the minimum wage would amount to about 3,000 denars additional gross, or about 50 euros, with which contributions for the additional increase in the minimum wage for 66,666 workers can be subsidized for three months, namely for October, November and December, as support for employers who would possibly face problems in paying the increased minimum wage and in this way at least 66,666 workers would receive a minimum wage of 500 euros in net amount.
Let's not forget that these 10,000,000 would return to the budget through the payment of contributions and the State would have a double profit, at least 10,000,000 euros back to the budget and satisfied workers, but there was no money to increase the minimum wage, and there was money for elections...
It's not about the money, it's about priorities!
