Canary Islands Government Restructures ICAP
Overview
The Canary Islands government has approved a significant shift in its Public Administration Institute (ICAP), moving from neighborhood-based labor positions to civil service roles. This change aims to ensure legal compliance with recent budget laws and improve organizational efficiency.
Reasons for the Change
The decision was prompted by vacant positions in the ICAP, caused by retirements and other reasons, which had been unfilled for months. To maintain smooth operations, the government proposes replacing these vacant labor positionsā which were unoccupied and reservedā with civil service roles, aligning with the legal mandate that administrative functions be performed by civil servants.

- Creation of four new civil service posts
- Elimination of four vacant labor positions
- All changes are within the same organizational units
- The process is cost-neutral; the new roles will not cost more than the vacated ones
Negotiation and Legislative Context

- Public sector unions
- The Canary Islands Public Service Commission
This restructuring reflects recent legislative updates aimed at:
- Consolidating the employment framework in the public sector
- Emphasizing transparency and compliance
Impact for Residents
