Canary Islands Public Employment Stabilization Process

Overview

On January 29, 2026, the Canary Islands government officially resumed and concluded its public employment stabilization process, aimed at transforming temporary civil servant contracts into permanent staff.

This move comes after a suspension caused by force majeure involving one specific candidate, Ana Elda Paz Pérez, which has now been lifted following her situation's resolution.

Candidate Hiring and Transition

  • Successful applicants are scheduled to take office between February 5 and 19, 2026.
  • Candidates are instructed to communicate their start date and ensure a smooth transition from temporary to permanent employment.

Broader Context and Goals

This initiative aligns with broader efforts to:

  • Reduce temporary contracts
  • Improve employment stability in public administration

as mandated by recent legislative measures.

Emphasis on Stability and Fairness

The process emphasizes:

  • The importance of decent, stable jobs for public workers.
  • Following legal procedures to ensure transparency and fairness.

The decision includes detailed protocols for:

  • Notifying temporary staff about contract terminations.
  • Taking office within a prescribed timeframe to secure positions.

Significance

This milestone marks a major step towards:

  • Strengthening public sector job security in the Canary Islands.
  • Providing clarity and stability for candidates eager to secure employment.
