Contractual Agents – duration of initial contract
we wish to express our strong
satisfaction and support for the decision regarding contractual agent
recruitments you communicated to staff representatives during the most recent
social dialogue meeting (COCO-JRC of 20th October).
Following a longstanding request from
our side, in order to increase the attractiveness of the JRC and be able to
retain the best possible candidates, within the boundaries of Staff
Regulations, the longest possible initial contract should be offered to
contractual agents. As a positive side-effect the administrative burden on AMC8
is also reduced.
Your decision to go in this direction
and offer initial contracts of the maximum possible duration (3 years) as
standard fully matches expectations of services and staff. Of course we recognise that, in cases where
projects or service needs have clearly demonstrated shorter timeframes, shorter
durations may be sometimes offered as an exception. We expect the same policy
to be applied to existing contractual agents such that any extension will also
be as long as possible.
To ensure that the implementation of
this new very welcome approach, leading to a happier and healthier working
environment for all, is applied consistently and fairly across the whole JRC,
we urge you to give as soon as possible clear guidance to all Directors, Unit
Heads and BC/AMC8.
Thank you again for your openness and
collaborative spirit on this matter.
