The plan of the Basque Government that will allow 700 officials to pre-retire on the home straight
According to the plan to rejuvenate and renew the staff of the general administration of the CAE, more than 700 civil servants over 63 years of age will be able to retire early, in return for reductions in working hours, days off and additional holidays for seniority. CCOO and UGT have shown their support but have not yet signed an agreement.
The Basque Government is finalizing a plan to rejuvenate the staff of the General Administration of the ACV and ensure generational change, according to which more than 700 General Administration officials over 63 years of age will be eligible for early retirement. Gobernanza, Administration and Self-Government Department is negotiating with the unions — so far supported by the CCOO and UGT unions — and will begin the procedures for their implementation when the agreement is signed.
Yesterday's meeting of the Sectoral Bureau of the General Administration discussed, among other things, the early retirement of civil servants, according to information released today by the Government.
Public employees who have decided to advance their retirement will enjoy reductions in working hours, days off and additional seniority holidays to facilitate the transmission of knowledge. CCOO and UGT have expressed their support, but have not yet signed an agreement.
According to the Basque Government, "this plan is a real opportunity" for those who want to retire early and will be "key" to rejuvenating the workforce and ensuring the modernization of the administration and generational relay.
