Description

Tallinn City Government, the biggest local government in Estonia, announced that it will cut 158 jobs in the course of 2014. Around 120 employees will be dismissed directly, 10 will be relocated and remaining 28 positions that are currently not filled will be abolished. The decision to review composition of the personnel working in cities agecies, districts and city Chancellery was made already at the end of last year following the last audit on personnel that took place back in the beginning of 2000s. The financial resources saved by these redundancies will be used to increase the wages of remaining personnel of cities agencies, districts and city Chancellery by 8%.
