The Generalitat proposes a six-month wait for dismissed interim workers

The Generalitat proposes that interim workers dismissed for exhausting their appointment wait six months before reactivating in the pool they left. The measure is still in the proposal phase.

Interim officials of the Generalitat Administration who are dismissed for reaching the maximum term of their appointment would have to wait six months before requesting their reactivation in the pool from which their position was taken. This is stated in the draft order on temporary employment that the Conselleria of Economy, Finance and Public Administration has submitted this week for public consultation, as reported by elperiodicodeaqui.com.

The waiting period would start from the dismissal and would affect the pool of the same body, scale, or group of positions to which the post belonged. During these six months, the worker would remain inactive on the list and would be excluded from any calls made through it.

The Basic Statute of Public Employees generally sets a maximum of three years for interim appointments covering vacant positions. The state regulations provide for exceptions, such as remaining in the position until the call to cover it is resolved, provided it is published within that period and legal requirements are met.

The union UGT has rejected the waiting period and announced that it will file objections. It believes that the measure could complicate the coverage of vacancies in areas struggling to find staff, citing among the affected profiles nursing assistants and social workers in the field of Equality.

For the Valencian reader, the change would affect those working as interim staff in the regional Administration and those aspiring to enter its pools. The proposal does not yet have an approval date: after the public consultation, the Generalitat will assess the contributions received, and the text will go through the Sectoral Table for negotiation with the unions.
