Accordingly, in 2025 the weight of the evaluation will rise to 30%, to return to what the legislation provides for in 2026. </p> <p>The above was proposed after heaps of complaints expressed by civil servants and their trade unions for the implementation of their new evaluation system.</p> <p>During the meeting, EDY, Ministry of Finance and all trade unions agreed with the proposal of law.</p> <p>The President of EDY, Giorgos Papageorgiou, reiterated the Commission's agreement with the proposal, noting, however, concerns about not transferring the units that will be removed from the evaluation to the other criteria. He also stated that for 2024 proposals have already been submitted for 385 promotion positions. He noted that according to EDY regulations, these positions are checked based on the qualifications that existed on the day the promotion proposal was submitted, while they cannot be withdrawn and resubmitted.</p> <p>Accordingly, the representative of the Legal Service, Alexia Kalispera, said that there is no disagreement on the proposal, however, expressing the reservations that the matter relates to public administration issues, for which the responsibility belongs to the executive power, while adding that the delay in filling the positions may have a financial burden, which may lead to a violation of the constitution. He emphasized, however, that the proposed law cannot affect procedures that have already begun and therefore they will be judged with a weight of 45% in the 2023 evaluation.</p> <p>The Director of the Department of Administration and Personnel, Elena Azina said that, given the convergence of everyone that there should be changes in the new system, the Ministry of Finance is positive about the law proposal, despite the reservations expressed at the technocratic level in relation to the matter, hoping that the positions will not be judicially endangered and there will be no legal issues.</p> <p>The trade unions of civil servants agreed with the proposed law, expressing reservation that in 2024 some will be based on 45% weighting and some with 15%, since the legislation will not be applied retroactively.</p> <p>The Member of Parliament of AKEL, Andreas Kavkalias, in his intervention, noted that an approach is being attempted “to make an arrangement and whatever comes and whatever finds us”, noting that the approach by the executive power is not serious. “There is a deep concern for us as to whether what we are going to do will not just solve the problem, it will cause more serious problems later,” he said, noting that there is no convincing position from the executive power and the Legal Service on the matter. “An effort is being made to regulate the issue now, to satisfy the reactions that have rightly been recorded, because we did not do our job properly, and we see and do”, he said.</p> <p>DIKO Member of Parliament, Chrysis Pantelidis, requested to put on record that all trade unions support the proposed law as, as he said, the Commission receives anonymous messages from workers who have a different opinion.</p> <p>The Member of Parliament of DIPA, Alekos Tryfonidis, pointed out the agreement in principle with the proposed law of the government, the EDY, the Prosecutor's Office, and the trade unions. He expressed concern about the Legal Service's position on the promotion proposals that have already been submitted, asking that a way be found to resolve the issue.</p> <p>EDEK Member of Parliament, Elias Myrianthous, in his statements after the Committee meeting, referred to the reservation of the Legal Service for promotions that are already in progress, which should be evaluated based on existing legislation. “There is a legal issue that we expect to be clarified by the Legal Service”, he said.</p> <p>The Committee also discussed a proposal by the DIKO, EDEK and DIPA groups to draw up a separate list of candidates for interdepartmental promotion, after the evaluation in an examination center, in the case of interchangeable positions.</p> <p>EDH and Department of Administration and Personnel noted their opposition to the proposal, noting that an exception is created from the philosophy of interdepartmental promotion. On the contrary, PASYDY said that the proposal moves on the right basis, as the institution of interchangeability receives a blow, since someone will not be motivated to move, will stay to pay for the specialized years of experience and the rest of the administrative staff will not be able to claim equally. “We are not asking for a universal exemption, but a separate list of candidates,” he noted.</p> <p>The President of the Committee, DIKO Member of Parliament, Christiana Erotokritou said that the consultation must continue.</p> <p>omega</p> <p> p><br /> <noindex></p> <div class=Source: 24h.com.cy
