Officials from the Women's Violence Section of the Las Palmas court are continuing their protests, even after the Canarian Government announced that outstanding on-call payments from January would be made by early May.

The staff of the Women's Violence Section at the Las Palmas court has decided to maintain their mobilizations. This decision comes despite a statement issued by the General Directorate of Relations with the Administration of Justice of the Canarian Government, which indicated that on-call duties pending since January would be paid in a supplementary payroll by early May.
According to the official statement, the payment would include on-call duties corresponding to January, February, March, and April 2026, as well as those from December 31, 2025. To facilitate this payment, the General Directorate of Public Function has initiated the process of opening the Meta4 system, aiming to incorporate the necessary data and process the owed amounts.
The department itself acknowledges that the delay is due to “problems arising from the adaptation of the payroll system” of the General Directorate of Public Function (DGFP) to the new organizational model. This situation has so far prevented the payment of these remunerations. The statement also thanks the efforts of Human Resources personnel in trying to expedite the process.

"Payroll workers tell us they are trying very hard, but even they don't know if the payment will actually be completed. We've been getting promises since January."

However, the staff believes that the announcement does not offer sufficient guarantees, as it does not set a specific payment date nor does it ensure that the payment will materialize within the foreseen deadlines. For this reason, they have decided to continue their protests at the entrance of the City of Justice in the Gran Canarian capital until the pending amounts are made effective.
The conflict dates back to the beginning of the year, when officials began reporting delays in collecting on-call payments following the reorganization of the service, prompted by the implementation of the Public Justice Service Efficiency Law. Workers state that Position number 4 for Women's Violence is without officials, which has led the staff to perform 72-hour on-call shifts in each position, doubling shifts, without these extra hours being remunerated.
