The number, characteristics, and compensation of temporary personnel shall be determined by the Plenary of each Corporation at the beginning of its term (Article 104 of Law 7/85 on the Regulation of the Bases of the Local Regime). The Plenary of the municipal corporation, in an extraordinary session on June 23, 2023, approved by majority the number, characteristics, and compensation of positions reserved for temporary personnel for the 2023-2027 term.
What is temporary personnel?
Temporary personnel are those who, by virtue of appointment and on a non-permanent basis, perform functions specifically designated as those of trust or special advisory roles and are compensated from budgetary credits allocated for this purpose (Royal Legislative Decree 5/2015, of October 30, which approves the revised text of the Basic Statute of Public Employees).
The provision of these services cannot be considered a merit for gaining the status of a public servant, nor for internal promotion. This personnel is subject to administrative law, and their dismissal is freely decided and does not generate compensation.
Law 7/1985, regulating the bases of the local regime, establishes that the allocation of positions to be filled by temporary personnel in municipalities must adhere to the following limits and rules: municipalities with a population greater than 50,000 and not exceeding 75,000 inhabitants may include in their staff temporary positions that do not exceed half the number of councilors in the local corporation.
