The High Court of Cassation and Justice, through its Complete Bench for the settlement of legal questions, admitted a reference and established mandatory interpretive guidance, ruling that the reference to the specific salary grid (Annex V, Chapter I, No. 4, lit. B) for prosecutors and investigators in national anti-corruption and organized crime agencies who lack their own salary grid applies only to seniority in service, excluding seniority in rank. The decision resolved a divergence in the application of vertical and horizontal hierarchical principles under Framework Law No. 153/2017 regarding the salarification of public sector personnel, specifically addressing how to calculate bonuses for staff without a dedicated salary grid. The decisive legal basis is Article 6, letter f) of Framework Law No. 153/2017, combined with Article 521(3) of the Code of Civil Procedure, which renders the interpretation binding for all judges.
