The Collegiate of the Federal Justice Council (CJF) approved last Wednesday (8/11) a resolution that implements and regulates the remuneration for the accumulation of administrative and procedural functions for federal magistrates of the 1st and 2nd degrees.

 

As a result, magistrates exercising these functions are entitled to one day of compensatory leave for every three days of work, limited to ten days per month.

Both the CJF and the MP rules establish that, if the days of leave are not taken, the magistrate or member of the MP may request it in the form of remuneration.

 

The payment will be included as compensation and is subject to the financial and budgetary availability of the entity. The beneficiary must formulate the request through a computerized system and within the deadline set by the administration, with payment up to the month following the request made.
