This increase comes from the consolidation of this institution being part of the structures set up for the new justice system in the framework of the reform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The High Judicial Council (HJC)<\/em> ranks second with the highest increase in the number of employees. In 2022 it is planned to have 50 more employees than in 2021 or 3% increase. Planning for this institution includes the administration of the HJC, the Information Technology Center and the Courts.

These increases come as a result of additional functions transferred from previous institutions, specifically to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which now has three other government institutions such as: Center for Studies and Publications for Arb\u00ebresh, Center for Diaspora Publishing, Agency for Diaspora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Assembly and the Supreme State Audit result in an increase, plus 25 and 15 employees as a result of functional reorganizations. With the lowest increase in the number of employees are other institutions such as: Commissioner for Civil Service Oversight, People&#8217;s Advocate, School of Magistrates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The decrease in the number of employees is marked by the Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth, which plans 21 fewer employees. The result for this change is the transfer of the National Youth Agency, which in 2021 has been part of the subordinate structures of this ministry, but in 2022 it will be subordinated to the Minister of State for Youth and Children, the latter as a minister without portfolio will have apparatus as part of the Prime Minister&#8217;s Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering two data of the State Budget according to the Institutions Salary Fund and Number of Employees, we are making an assessment on the declared average salary for budget staff.

The salary fund we are taking as a reference includes the declared salary including work experience or payment according to specific contributions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The average monthly salary in SPAK is estimated at around 241,000 ALL, in justice institutions such as the Independent Qualification Commission; Special Appellate College; The Public Commissioner and the Office of the High Inspector of Justice, the average monthly salary is around 190,000 ALL, followed by the Constitutional Court and the General Prosecutor&#8217;s Office on average about 150,000 ALL per month. The justice structures are followed by SAI, the Assembly, the Prime Minister&#8217;s Office the Public Procurement Commission, the President&#8217;s Office, the Accounting Council with average institutional monthly salaries over 100 thousand ALL.
