Temporary staff serving for more than 30 months in the Public Service of Cyprus will be eligible to be transferred to other Agencies under new laws being considered by Parliament.
After discussions that lasted over 18 months, the House of Representatives Finance Committee and the Public Administration and Personnel Department (PAPD) have agreed on the final draft of the new laws.
The Bills will be examined by Legal Services before being submitted to Parliament. Provided there is no disagreement, the Bills are expected to be passed into law.
Temporary workers of indefinite service who complete 30 months at the same Department will now be offered an interchangeable status, meaning that the PAPD will have the authority to transfer them from their current Department or service to another with more needs.
Another Bill to come before the Parliament will stop a Ministry from filling all its vacancies with temporary workers.
Chairman of the Finance Committee, Nicolas Papadopoulos said a temporary worker would be employed only where there were needs of a temporary nature.
He said temporary workers would be employed on a six-month basis and if they or their Department desired to have their service extended, their request would go through the Cabinet and the individual would have to re-join the temporary workers’ register.
“In this way, we will theoretically avert the danger of these workers completing over 30 months of service, thus receiving indefinite service status,” Mr Papadopoulos said.
