The Administrative Career is mandatory for all public institutions of the State and subsidized municipalities. It is applied in a supplementary manner for all institutions that are regulated by special laws or other Public Service Careers.
In the Administrative Career Law, the rights and duties of public servants in general are established, as well as the rights that public servants in the Administrative Career have, such as job stability in jobs. This job security is acquired by public servants who have been incorporated into the Administrative Career by the General Directorate of Administrative Career, either through the Ordinary Entry Procedure or “competition” (POI) or the Special Entry Procedure (PEI), provided that public servants meet the position requirements demanded by the Institutional Manual of Occupational Classes.
Through Law 9 of 1994, the Administrative Career was adopted, however, over the years, the Administrative Career Law has been modified 4 four times and due to such modifications, the Administrative Career Law lacks of a logical structural order, which causes confusion in the application and interpretation of the regulations related to the administration of human resources of public servants.
In addition to the above, new public bodies have been created within the Administrative Career system, such as the Administrative Tribunal of the Public Service, which replaces the Board of Appeals and Administrative Career.
