Government resolution n.º 82/2017 establishes that the decision to issue ordinances of extension should be preceded by an analysis of several indicators, such as the salary increase of employees to be covered and the impact on the salary, as well as the impact on the reduction of pay inequalities. The percentage of workers and the proportion of women to be covered should also be verified. Moreover, a maximum period for analysis, public consultation and issuance of an extension ordinance is fixed at 35 working days from the date of request. Alongside these changes, a permanent technical committee is created with the aim of supporting a timely analysis and the procedure of the issuance of ordinances.
