In addition to the suspension of new admissions, the Government decided to change the procedures for entering the Civil Service, the criteria for the mobility of State employees and agents, and even the minimum time for career progression.

Less than one year after the last revision, the executive has again changed the minimum time for career progression.

The executive has changed the Regulation of the General Statute of State Employees and Agents, still within the scope of the implementation of the new Single Salary Table (TSU).

The newspaper @Verdade has learned that the first change is in the “competition procedures” for the admission of new employees. Until now, entry that was carried out “as a rule, in the lowest class in mixed careers and in the initial step in horizontal careers” now takes place “in the initial step of the lowest salary level of the respective career”, and the procedure indicating that “in special regime careers, entry is made in the lowest category of the career” has been revoked.

Through Decree 32/2023, of the 8th of June, the government changed some criteria for the “mobility” of state employees, which is no longer subject to public tenders, but is operationalised through the following procedures:

“Institutions wishing to receive employees via mobility channel their staffing needs and request the entity that oversees the civil service area for this purpose”;

“The entity that oversees the civil service area, as the Central Governing Body for the Strategic Management of the State’s Human Resources, verifies in the e-SNGRHE the availability of employees in the institutions through the Personnel Tables”; and

“The entity that oversees the civil service area articulates with the institutions with employees available for mobility and makes the decision on the transfer or secondment”.

Among other changes, 21 articles of the previous Regulation of the General Statute of State Employees and Agents were amended. Also noteworthy is the minimum time for career progression, which went from “two full years of effective service in the echelon in which he is classified” to the “minimum period of effective service in the echelon in which he is classified, established in the Career and Remuneration Subsystem”.
