Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The bill would organize the civil service rules for the State Administration and set guiding principles such as equality, merit and ability, talent attraction, job stability, ongoing training and transparency.
  2. It would create the B professional classification group, open to people with an advanced vocational training degree, while keeping the structure of cuerpos and escalas (career bodies).
  3. It would replace the current temporary assignment figure (comisión de servicios) with a new one, temporary job provision, lasting at most twelve months, within which the job must be filled permanently.
  4. It would eliminate figures such as forced leave, incentivized voluntary leave and job expectation, and would regulate the administrative situations of civil servants, including leave for gender violence and terrorist violence victims.
  5. It would reform supplementary pay: it would create a career allowance and turn the current productivity allowance into a performance allowance, guaranteeing equal pay between women and men.
  6. It would regulate remote work as a distance work mode that must be expressly authorized, is temporary, voluntary and reversible, and is not a right of the employee.
  7. It would set rights such as 22 working days of paid vacation a year, with extra days based on years of service, and would list civil servants' leave entitlements, including six days a year for personal matters.
  8. It would unify the disciplinary regime in a single text, classify offenses as very serious, serious and minor, and provide that sanctions are recorded in the Personnel Registry and can be erased once the limitation period passes.

Who it affects

  • State career civil servants: Their career development, job assignment, administrative situations, pay and disciplinary regime would change.
  • Interim, special-trust and labor staff: Their requirements, duties and pay would be specified; interim staff would face maximum appointment periods and special-trust staff would need the same degree as the comparable civil servant group.
  • People seeking a government job: Access requirements would be regulated, including the new B group for advanced vocational training graduates.
  • Women public employees: Equality plans, the protocol against sexual harassment and protections for gender violence victims would be strengthened.
  • Labor unions: Social dialogue and collective bargaining of working conditions would be guaranteed.

Where does all this come from?

  • The data comes from the open files of the Congreso, the Senate and the BOE, unaltered.
  • Each deputy’s province is the one of their seat on the day of the vote.
  • We never say “passed” because of a vote: the files do not say which majority was needed.
