Additionally, all employees will benefit from the new calculation of work experience, based on the evaluation of those with more years of service,\u201d explained Balluku.<\/p>\n<p>The same scheme that was applied to the central administration in April of last year will be implemented.<\/p>\n<p>It involves a 0.6% calculation for the first 10 years of work, 0.8% from the 10<sup>th<\/sup> to the 20<sup>th<\/sup> year, and 1% for the third decade of work.<\/p>\n<p>Balluku also mentioned that there have been more than 270 job applications for 309 open positions. On October 19, she announced that there were job vacancies for young electricians. The age criterion of \u201cnot more than 25 years old\u201d was introduced to encourage fresh, young talent to join the workforce, allowing the current employees, who have been working for many years, to pass down the torch. There are still a few days left until the competition is complete.<\/p>\n<p>In the meeting with OSHEE employees, the Minister praised the reform and performance, recalling that the collections last month were 113%, while network losses have decreased to 18%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new salary system for Albanian Electricity Distribution Operator (OSHEE) employees has come into effect this month, bringing about a roughly 30% increase in wages.
