High wages are not enough, Trust management rewards itself with extra bonus

Although workers at the Kosovo Pension Savings Fund are known as the most paid officials in Kosovo, this has not prevented the management of this institution from sharing thousands of euros in the form of vouchers for staff.

According to the Trust report for 2017, this institution has earmarked bonuses of approximately 40 thousand euros for 26 workers, while regular staff.

ORAinfo has found that this is triple the previous year, in 2016, respectively, when the bonus has been around 10,000 euros.

“Puna overtime, bonuses and maintenance fees -- 38 thousand euros” -- says the institution's latest report, in 2017. In the report, there's no mention of why the bonus triples were filed, as well as no reasonable separation.

Meanwhile, the increase in bonuses has also been reflected in the total increase in staff spending. So until the staff's spending for 2016 was 560 thousand euros, with 2017 it was raised to 599 thousand euros.

In a response to the newspaper, the spokesman at this institution, Jeton Demi, has reasoned with, as he has said, “the Trust's good performance throughout 2017”.

The growth in this case is related to the best investment performance for 2017 (over 100m euros) but also the contributing services (over 100,000 services without complaints) and is for all staff (but not for the Steering Board), which in 2016 had not occurred”, Demi said of ORAinfo.

He said the Board. The FKPK is determined that the bonus can be shared for workers only when the institution's performance in investments is positive.

This is done in order to encourage and motivate employees when the results are excellent”, he added.

Meanwhile, the institution's high wage and hired expenses have often been criticised by civil society and eventually by MPs, where they even took steps to reduce them. But large wages have already increased their bonus expenses.

Three officials in the Trust at nearly half the cost of staff

For 2016, total staff salaries at the Kosovo Pension Savings Fund amount to about half a million euros. But there are only three senior officials in this institution whose salaries reach nearly half of that amount.

The word is for Adrian Zallin, Trust Managing Director, Surrem Hatip Deputy Director for Finance and Agron Krasniqi, Deputy Director of Operations.

The three of them, together from wages and wages during 2016, have managed to earn 150 thousand euros. That's about half the cost for the entire staff in the Trust.

The only Zalli in the quality of the Trust Director has managed to earn an estimated 60 thousand euros. This includes wages and wages. Meanwhile, Zalll's salary is about five thousand euros and is estimated among the most paid officials in Kosovo.
