Guardamar to apply new productivity and additional services regulations from July
The Local Police’s voluntary special availability scheme provides for up to 32 officers, five full shifts a year and €1,380 gross annually.
Guardamar del Segura’s new municipal regulations on productivity and additional services will take effect financially from 1 July 2026. The Alicante Provincial Official Gazette published their final approval on 14 October, under notice 7698/2026, following the Plenary’s initial agreement on 5 June and the end of the public consultation period without any objections.
The regulations cover productivity payments for municipal staff and provide for six payments every two months. Each point is worth €10, subject to budget availability. The general scheme covers various groups of public- and private-sector employees with at least six months’ service, except staff hired under grant-funded schemes.
A voluntary special availability scheme has been set up for the Local Police, with a maximum of 32 officers. Those who sign up must work five full shifts a year, equivalent to 40 hours, and will receive €1,380 gross annually. The amount is prorated by month from the date of the decision approving their inclusion. These hours do not qualify for additional overtime pay.
The regulations also set compensation of €300 gross for each full special reinforcement shift. For the night shifts on 24 and 31 December, officers will receive €175.
The changes affect municipal pay from 1 July, although final approval was published in October. The official notice sets out the terms and amounts that will apply to these pay elements.
