In the absence of its own autonomous regulations that regulate the different phases of the selection processes for the selection of civil servant career personnel and permanent labor personnel, the precepts of the Regulation have been applied in the Administration of the Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha. General Income of Personnel at the service of the General Administration of the State and Provision of Jobs and Professional Promotion of Civil Officials of the General Administration of the State, approved by Royal Decree 364/1995, of March 10.

The time elapsed since the approval of the aforementioned royal decree, as well as the development of information and communication technologies, allow and make it convenient to adopt a series of measures aimed at complying with the principle of agility that must govern the selection of personnel in the Administrations Public.

On the other hand, article 1 of Law 20/2021, of December 28, on urgent measures to reduce temporary employment in public employment, has given a new wording to article 10 of the EBEP that reinforces the notion of temporary employment. of the figure of the interim official staff, in order to clearly delimit the nature of the relationship that unites him with the Administration. Thus, the legal provisions regarding the maximum duration of the appointment of interim official personnel due to vacancy have been supported, as a preventive measure to avoid abusing this figure to exercise functions of a permanent or structural nature. In this way, vacant positions held by interim official personnel must, however, be covered by any of the provision or mobility mechanisms set forth in the regulations of each Public Administration.

Secondly, this decree also provides, as a measure to speed up the selection processes, the reduction of the deadlines for presenting the supporting documentation of the merits to be assessed in the competition phase and for presenting the application for destinations and the documentation accrediting the participation requirements. Currently, the possibility of carrying out these procedures by electronic means, as well as the right of applicants not to provide documents that are already in the possession of the acting Administration, allow the aforementioned terms to be ten business days, without this entailing any harm to the applicants. participating in the selection processes.

On the other hand, the high number of applicants who participate in the selection processes and the assignment of many of these places to sectors of urgent and priority coverage also advise the adoption of these measures that facilitate greater speed in holding the process. of selection.
