TRT Retiree Salary Scythe

SÖZCÜ wrote that the regulation of 3,600 additional indicators, which the government announced as good election news, turned into a nightmare for TRT and MIT retirees. With the arrangement of additional indicators, it was revealed that the pensions of those who retired years ago with 2,200, 5,200, 6,100 and 6,400 additional indicators are cut. The pensions of thousands of TRT retirees decreased between TL 200 and TL 3,500 due to these cuts.

While the additional indicator for some public servants and retirees, especially teachers, police officers, nurses, and religious, increased to 3,600 at the beginning of the year, the additional indicator for other public servants increased by 600 points. However, it was later revealed that the regulation did not cover TRT and MIT. SGK canceled the increase it made with 3600 additional indicators for thousands of people who have retired from these institutions and started cutting the excess money they paid from their salaries.

WAGES HAVE ALSO DECREASED

However, it was also revealed that 3,600 additional indicator adjustments resulted in pension reductions for thousands of people who retired from TRT and MIT years ago. With the regulation, when the additional board was reorganized and the compensation reflex rates were updated, there were significant decreases in the pensions of those who retired above the additional indicators 2200, 5200, 6100 and 6400 in the past. Retirees, who reacted to the wage cuts by rolling back the regulation, said their vested rights were taken away.

STOP FIRST, THEN CUT

For example, those who retired with an additional 5,200 indicators first increased to 5,800 by adding an additional 600 indicators. Thus, as of January 1, 2023, the pensions of these retirees were increased by applying a compensation reflection rate of 165 percent. However, when it was understood that they were not within the scope of the regulation, this time it was withdrawn to an additional 5200 indicators. When the reflex rate of compensation for these retirees was reduced to 145 percent, the pension also decreased.

Likewise, the pensions received by retirees whose additional indicators were accidentally increased from 2,200 to 2,800 decreased from 85 percent to 55 percent according to the new table. It was stated that department heads with 6,400 additional indicators first increased to 7,000 additional indicators and then dropped to 6,400 again, while the compensation reflection rate dropped from 195 percent to 165 percent, resulting in a loss from 3 thousand to 3 thousand. 500 lire in their pensions. The loss in pensions of those who retired with 6100 additional indicators was calculated around 200 TL.
