The Short Version
The 0.6% figure exists in Bulgarian labor law but applies only as a seniority supplement — additional compensation for each year of service under Article 244 of the Labour Code — not as a universal annual salary increase for all employees. The claim fundamentally mischaracterizes a conditional, tenure-based add-on as a blanket yearly raise mandate. Bulgaria's actual minimum wage mechanism operates under a separate formula tied to average gross wages, producing variable annual increases far exceeding 0.6%.
