The Mesa Sectorial de Sanidad has approved this Wednesday the homogenization of the compensation for residence, also known as insularity complement, for IbSalut staff, a measure that will come into force from 2026 and that will mean that these retributions will be the same for all professional groups, both civil servant and labor staff.
As reported by the Ministry of Health, the agreement is part of the Framework Agreement of the Negotiating Board of Public Employees of the Administration of the Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands, which aims to improve the working conditions and remuneration of public employees, as well as the quality of the services they provide.
Same amount for all professional categories
With the application of this measure, the residence allowance received by IbSalut statutory personnel will be equated to that corresponding to the civil servant personnel of the autonomous administration, eliminating the differences that have existed until now between professional categories.
Thus, the amount will be the same regardless of the position or group to which the worker belongs. In Mallorca, the supplement will reach 205.30 euros per month, while in Menorca and Ibiza it will be 410.60 euros. In the case of Formentera, the compensation will amount to 615.90 euros, reflecting the higher extra cost associated with the double insularity.
More than 20,000 professionals benefited
The agreement will benefit more than 20,000 healthcare, management and service professionals who are part of IbSalut, a key workforce for the functioning of the public health system in the Balearic Islands.
The Regional Ministry stresses that this homogenization responds to the need to reinforce pay equity, to facilitate the recruitment and retention of professionals in the non-capital islands and to recognize the impact that insularity has on the cost of living of public sector workers.
