Civil servants who have changed careers in the last 18 years and healthcare workers on individual contracts can benefit from the extra leap in their careers from 2024 when they achieve six points, four short of the required 10, in the system Integrated management and public performance evaluation governance (SIADAP). The Secretary of State for Public Administration, Inês Ramires, announced yesterday that “the government is studying the possibility of” extending the accelerator of progressions, to cover those workers as well.
Those were two of the demands made to the government yesterday by the civil service unions during a round of negotiations that served to discuss the diploma project that will implement the measure. So, and “taking into account the concerns of the trade unions, the government is committed to studying,” the minister reiterated.
Employees who have changed careers and health care workers, namely from hospitals in the State Enterprise Sector (EPE), will still have to meet two requirements: to have a career of 18 years and to have passed through the two periods of progression freeze, between August 30, 2005 and December 31, 2007 and between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2017, as proposed by the Executive.
With regard to employees who have changed careers in the past 18 years, for example from technical assistant to senior technician, the government will “consider” also applying the additional salary jump “for different careers but with the same degree of complexity”. disclosed the Secretary of State, without providing further details. This could mean that only civil servants can advance faster who have remained in equal pay positions when changing careers, even if the salaries are different.
With regard to employees with individual employment contracts that exclude the draft diploma, the State Secretary for Public Administration now admits to revising this point. “In the state-owned enterprise, some of the employees are not developing like the rest of the civil service, but where there could be a parallel is in the health sector, as it has started to replicate the conditions for career development in public positions since 2018” , explained the ruler. For this reason, and in this particular case, the guardianship is considering “studying” to include these employees in the career accelerator mechanism, he stressed.
However, there are a number of other employees whose access to the measure will soon be denied. Those on fixed-term contracts, often precarious, will not be covered even if they reach 18 years of service after completing the two freeze periods because that time is not counted towards their careers, the Common Front coordinator complained , Sebastião Santana leaves the meeting with the Secretary of State.
349,000 state workers, about half (47%) of the universe of 745,000, will be able to progress more quickly from January 2024.
Asked about the cost of the measure and how many employees can make a career leap annually from next year, Inês Ramires decided to release the data later, as the government “still has to wait for the evolution of negotiations with the trade unions and with the final conditions of the diploma,” he justified. The next meeting with the Federation of Public Administration Unions (FESAP), the Common Front of Public Administration Unions (Common Front) and the Union of State Technical Staff (STE) is scheduled for June 21.
The government also presented yesterday the proposal for the revision of careers in information technology, which provides for the creation of two special careers: a specialist in systems and information technologies and a technician in systems and information technologies. The remuneration tables of both consider 11 positions, and in the special career of system and information technology specialist, entry is expected at level 24 of the Single Remuneration Table (TRU), which corresponds to a gross monthly salary of 1754.41 euros. In the special career of system and computer scientist, the first position corresponds to level 14, with a salary of 1228.09 euros.
