Back pay for professional career progression is attributed to the year of resolution, and the 30% reduction is an irrevocable option

A doctor has enquired about the temporal attribution of back pay for professional career progression received in 2023, and whether it is possible to rectify a 30% reduction applied in 2020 to use it in 2022.
