The Regional Government of Madeira, through the Regional Secretariat for Health and Civil Protection and the Regional Secretariat for Inclusion, Labour and Youth, has published the second amendment to the Working Conditions Ordinance (PCT) applicable to professional firefighters of the Humanitarian Firefighter Associations (AHB) in the Region.
This measure aims to dignify and value the profession, promoting remuneration and training parity with professional firefighters of local authorities. The main changes include:
The ordinance enters into force the day after its publication, with retroactive effects to January 1, 2024, for pecuniary rights.
