Several public sector employees reported not receiving a scheduled 500 dirham increase in their July paychecks, citing delays in the publication of relevant decrees in the Official Gazette.
Two official sources at the Ministry of Economy and Finance, speaking to Hespress, clarified that the delay stemmed from the time taken for the decrees to be published. “All stages, including approval by the government council, have been completed for the general wage increase,” one source explained. “We are now awaiting publication in the Official Gazette, with the increase likely to take effect in August.”
The delay contrasts with the social agreement signed between the government, major unions, the Moroccan Confederation of Agriculture and Rural Development, and the General Federation of Moroccan Enterprises. This agreement stipulates a net monthly increase of 1,000 dirhams for public sector employees, to be disbursed in two equal installments.
According to the agreement, the first installment of the wage increase was scheduled to begin on July 1, 2024, with the second installment to follow on July 1, 2025.
