Painful
According to the Law Standards top incomes (WNT) top officials May not earn more than a minister. Nevertheless CONCEDED seven policemen, zoals Bouman, sharply last year more. When OM will no prosecutor more than 178,000 euros. Painful ,, "says Labour MP Ahmed Marcouch. ,, This is not to explain to people in the workplace.

Welten
The most earned police official is Bernhard Welten. As adviser to the corps leadership he stroked over last year's 255,000 euros. Welten have to compromise any salary, Because He relies on events from his time as chief of police in Amsterdam. Remarkably Welten will go well ahead of this year. This is the result of a lucrative retirement deal, enshrined in the new police agreement. The deal is the pay gap between senior police and the Public Prosecution further.
Compensation
The core of this deal is That pension earners in the police are compensated for a law requiring workers about Their income above 100,000 euros more to build up a pension. That law were entered into on January 1, 2015 and led to the police top heavily built up less pension.
What the big earners receive less this year to retire, They get paid on top of Their salary. Involving amounts up to 20,000 euros per person. The compensation ook Applies to 2017. Then Creates new collective agreements. In total, the deal will cost several at million euros.
Absurd
SP MP Nine Kooiman thinks the pension compensation for the police top right go against the intent of the WNT, Namely to limit top salaries in the public sector. ,, It is absurd That the police top can rake in this child or bonuses, "says Kooiman. ,, Many politietopmensen earn more than a minister, while the entire police organization must cut back sharply and agents have gone. So I think this opgehoord and the Minister Expects Further address this unprecedented high salaries. "
Sweet and sour
Van der Steur Minister of Security and Justice Recognizes That police salaries increasement Significantly this year due to the collective agreement. ,, A collective agreement is a matter of give and take, an agreement where both the employer and the employee sweet and sour in it, "Said a ministry spokesman. ,, In the overall context of this collective agreement, the minister behind this appointment."
The police are not the only public sector-which HAS offset the return of pension Contributions. One senior officials of Security and Justice and judges receive a salary shovel since this year on top.
