The Court of Justice established and then withdrew a measure that established a salary suspension for magistrates who took on the supervision of interns at the court. The measure provided for judges to be tutors for interns and teach classes, as for the Judiciary of Paraná.
The role of “tutor magistrate”, created in a resolution last Monday (27), authorized first-degree magistrates and judges to take on up to two interns, with payment of 40 monthly teaching hours.
Magistrates could exercise the role of legal residency tutor, supervision of undergraduate and postgraduate internships. Each judge could receive an additional amount of up to R$12,000 per month considering the remuneration table published by the National School for Training and Improvement of Magistrates this year.
In a note published this Thursday (30), the TJ-PR said that it revoked the measure to avoid disagreement with the guidance of the (Supreme Federal Court) that . The measure was taken following a newspaper report.
In the note, the Paraná court states that the mentoring measure for interns was not “materially implemented” nor did it generate payments, because it depended on regulations that were never published.
In March, the STF decided that salaries in the Judiciary and the Public Ministry must be paid up to a limit of 70% of the salaries of employees in these bodies. In the case of members of the Supreme Court itself, who receive the civil service ceiling of R$46,366, these additional payments can reach R$32,456.
In practice, the Supreme Court authorizes the payment of amounts above the constitutional ceiling until legislation on the subject is approved, but establishes a limit that did not exist until then.
Furthermore, the STF ordered full disclosure of the amounts paid as trinkets. Currently, there is low transparency in the breakdown of these values.
With the decision, trinkets such as Christmas allowances, fuel, compensatory leave for accumulation of collection, housing allowance, food allowance, compensatory leave of 1 day off for 3 employees, pre-school assistance, paid leave for courses abroad, compensation for telecommunications services, birth allowance and daycare allowance were declared unconstitutional.
