Canary Islands Government Appoints Permanent Public Employees

The Canary Islands government has officially appointed several candidates as permanent public employees following a series of selection processes aimed at stabilizing temporary staff. This move aligns with urgent legal measures enacted earlier this year to reduce temporary employment and improve public service quality.

Key Details of the Appointment Process

• The resolution confirms the contracting of selected individuals.
• Specific job positions are assigned to each candidate.
• Timelines are set for their contracts and take-up dates.
• One candidate, María Montserrat Granado Marrero, was excluded upon opting to remain in other selection processes for different roles.

Characteristics of the Process

• Declared urgent by authorities.
• Includes safeguards such as a clear probation period of two years.
• Conditions for suspension if necessary.
• Strict rules about participation in multiple selection rounds.
• Procedures ensure fair notices and timely communication to those affected.

Significance

This development is significant for residents and expats as it signifies a sustained effort by regional authorities to:

• Regularize employment
• Improve public service stability
• Ensure transparency

The appointed staff will transition from temporary to fixed positions, offering long-term job security and reinforcing the government's commitment to stable employment practices.

"This move is a crucial step towards stabilizing public employment and enhancing the quality of public services in the Canary Islands," a regional official stated.
