Puerto Rico's Court of Appeals has voided a new salary regulation affecting central government employees, ruling that it was approved without following the legal procedures required for such measures. The ruling came in response to a petition filed by the Sindicato Puertorriqueño de Trabajadoras y Trabajadores (SPT-SEIU).
The invalidated measure was contained in what was called Carta Normativa Núm. 1-2026. The court determined the regulation had been implemented improperly, without the transparency or procedural steps mandated by law, leading to its annulment.
The article does not provide further details on the specific salary changes the regulation would have introduced or the government agency responsible for issuing it.
