Community leaders in Madrid will conduct performance assessments for promotions

The regional government in Madrid has approved a decree to regulate the system for evaluating public employees, marking the first time this type of evaluation is being introduced. The new system aims to promote excellence in citizen attention and career progression for public employees in the Community of Madrid.

The decree, presented by the Minister of Presidency, Miguel Ángel García Martín, establishes a career progression system with five levels. To access each level, a minimum time of stay in the current level must be met. The performance of workers will impact their internal mobility and promotion.

Interested parties must undergo a labor evaluation. Workers can accumulate merits based on labor performance, training, commitment to public service, demanding positions, and absenteeism, among other aspects. If the evaluation is positive, workers will be promoted to a higher level and receive additional economic compensation.

The performance evaluation will also determine the payment of a productivity bonus. The agreement was signed last December by the President of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, and trade unions CSIT-Unión Profesional, CC.OO., CSIF, and UGT. However, it's worth noting that there is no publicly available information about any trade unions signing an agreement with Isabel Díaz Ayuso in December of any year regarding the introduction of an evaluation system for public employees to improve citizen services.

The system will affect functional, labor, and temporary staff in the administration and services sector of the Community of Madrid. It's important to note that the evaluation will not apply to labor staff in public entities if they have their own regulations regarding this matter.

Repeated insufficient or inadequate evaluations may lead to dismissal or removal from a position. The norm will come into effect next year and will apply to approximately 40,000 people. The evaluation will impact the quantity of public employees, with the goal of ensuring that only the most dedicated and skilled individuals are serving the public.

In summary, the new evaluation system in Madrid aims to promote excellence in public service and career progression for public employees. It will impact approximately 40,000 individuals in the administration and services sector of the Community of Madrid, with the potential to improve citizen services and the overall efficiency of the public sector.
