First-instance judges to get higher salaries from 2027
Salaries of first-instance judges will rise from 1 January 2027, but annual inflation indexation will not apply for now.
What it means for you
From 1 January 2027, first-instance judges' salaries change under the new salary law. The exact new pay scales have not been announced. Annual indexation of salaries to inflation, ordered by the Constitutional Court, has no date yet.
What happened
Finance Minister Victoria Belous said salary grids for first-instance judges were revised after opinions from the Superior Council of Magistracy (CSM). Raises of over 50%, first proposed for judges who pass vetting, an external evaluation, cannot be fully accepted. She said the reason is the limits of the state budget.
In short
- The new salary law takes effect on 1 January 2027.
- Raises of over 50% were first proposed for judges who go through vetting.
- Victoria Belous said the budget cannot afford the increases requested by judges.
- The Superior Council of Prosecutors (CSP) also submitted objections to the draft law.
