Two Administrative Litigation courts in Barcelona have condemned the City Council for violating the salary rights of two Urban Guard officers. The council has appealed both rulings.
Two Administrative Litigation courts in Barcelona have ruled in favour of two urban guards against the City Council of Barcelona in separate cases initiated by the CSIF union. The rulings, announced this Tuesday, compel the council to pay salary differences to both officers.
The first case involves a sub-inspector of the Guàrdia Urbana de Barcelona who, between 1 July 2021 and 7 January 2024, permanently and continuously performed the duties of head of the Works Unit, albeit without formal appointment. That position is assigned to level 27, while he was being paid at level 22.
The 4th court of the Administrative Litigation Section of the Barcelona Court of First Instance considers that performing functions of a higher category, typical of a superintendent, entitles one to receive the remuneration of that position. Therefore, the court condemns the council to pay the difference for that period, along with legal interest from the claim.
Higher category tasks entitle one to the supplementary remuneration of the position held.
In the second procedure, the 4th court of the same section fully upholds the appeal of another Urban Guard officer. She claimed the payment of 2,000 euros for retroactive triennia corresponding to her internship period.
The judge takes into account that the officer proved prior service in the Army and that she was later appointed as a career civil servant. According to the ruling, depriving her of that amount violates state legislation.
Municipal sources have confirmed to Europa Press that the council has appealed both rulings. As long as the appeal remains open, the rulings are not final, and the City Council of Barcelona has not yet paid the claimed amounts.
