Guillermo Sánchez has informed trade union representatives that it will become effective during the first half of 2025 and that it will be retroactive.
The councillor of Social Welfare and president of the Institut Mallorquí d’Afers Socials (IMAS), Guillermo Sánchez, met today with the main trade unions that represent the workers of the entities that work in the child and adolescent protection system on the island. The councillor reiterated his will and that of his government team to comply with the provisions of the 2nd Autonomous Collective Agreement for Juvenile Reform and Protection of Minors of the Balearic Islands and to study formulas that allow for the application of the Residence and Insularity Bonus.
Sánchez has today put on the table a protocol that includes the demands of workers in the sector and, in addition, has pledged, before the union representatives, to incorporate their two main demands: the recognition of the Residence and Insularity Bonus during the first half of 2025, as well as its retroactive application from 1 January 2025.

The IMAS undertakes to apply the insularity bonus to the workers of the entities of the system of protection of minors
The president of IMAS has assured that ‘our commitment is firm: to improve the working conditions of workers in the sector because they are the basis of a system that protects those who need it most, since during the last legislature they did not meet with them nor was any step taken to make it a reality’.
Today’s meeting was the fourth that the head of Social Services in Mallorca has held with representatives of the trade unions of the professionals who work in residential care centres and the employers’ association since the legislature began, and “it will not be the last”, said Guillermo Sánchez, who pointed out that “the agreement that recognises this supplement came into force during the last legislature and that the previous government team neither met nor took any steps to apply it”.
In this sense, the councillor reaffirmed ‘the will to continue working together with all the agents involved to guarantee a solid, efficient protection system focused on the real needs of children and adolescents’.
