A woman working in the State Security Corps and a female medical specialist in the Castilla-La Mancha Health Service have been recognised as entitled to various salary supplements during the period in which they were at risk during pregnancy.
The Fourth Contentious-Administrative Section of the Supreme Court (SC) has handed down two rulings in which it rejects the appeals of the State lawyer and the Regional Government of Castilla-La Mancha against the rulings of the High Court of Justice of Madrid and a Court of Toledo, respectively, which granted them the salary supplements, on the grounds that the contrary would amount to discrimination on the grounds of sex.
In the case of the female doctor, a specialist in urology who worked as statutory healthcare staff of the Health Service of the Autonomous Community of Castilla-La Mancha, the Managing Director of the Integrated Care Management of Guadalajara, on 22 March 2018, refused to pay her the salary suplement for continuous care, corresponding to the period in which she was at risk during pregnancy, for not having been able to cover the shifts that occurred during her pregnancy.
Regarding the woman who works in the State Security Forces, the Supreme Court dismisses the appeal of the Prosecutor's Office against the sentence of the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid recognizing her right to the salary supplement that was denied in 2018 by the General Directorate of that Corps for not having started to work in the new place due to being on medical leave from the service, due to risky pregnancy.
