📋 Tender Overview
At the 1st Specialized Commission the discussion in particular of the proposal for the new Basic Public Employment Law LBEP whose general approval took place on the 24th of June. During this first phase the Minister for Modernization of the State and Public Administration Edna Oliveira presented sixteen 16 of the two hundred and thirteen 213 articles of this important diploma all of which were approved by those present.Speaking to the press at the end of the presentation Minister Edna Oliveira explained how the new LBEP resolves the situation of job insecurity that several public servants in the employment regime have been targeting for several years.This proposal that we are discussing comes exactly to resolve these situations insofar as it introduces the figure of the contract for an indefinite period for certain functions that are not considered functions of the State and improves the binding regime for the performance of transitory functions or non-permanent jobs establishing a maximum renewal period for fixed-term employment contracts after which they would expire automatically informed the Minister.Edna Oliveira also indicated that if she needed this workers service she would have to launch a competition to recruit him on a career basis whether linked by an employment contract for an indefinite period or under an appointment regime if it is a function so requires.The proposal for the new LBEP according to the Minister introduces a series of other innovations. From the outset the figure of telework at the level of Public Administration a need that the Covid-19 Pandemic has demonstrated and a paradigm shift insofar as the key and central concept is the function removing the emphasis from the concept of office.The official will be remunerated not for the position he occupies but for the function he actually performs informed the minister explaining that the Governments intention with this measure is to end the salary inequalities that exist between employees who perform the same function but whose position in different regimes or careers leads them to have disproportionate salaries.We are also increasing maternity leave from 60 to 90 days and we are introducing parental leave in the name of family stability continued the Minister who concluded by also indicating among the innovations of the new LBEP the possibility of permanence in the civil service until the age of 70 with mutual interest both of the Public Administration and the employee.
