The Staff Committee would like to inform the translation of the letter sent to the Director of the Department of Human Resources about Continuing Contracts on June 3th, 2011.
Dear Mrs. Gaxiola :
On behalf of the Staff Committee, and in accordance to the General Standards of the General Secretariat, we would like to request the publication and updated list of the staff members eligible for continuing contracts. If the minimum requirement is not being met, we request the opening of a new competition, as soon as possible.
The General Standards state that “The Secretary General shall review the eligibility list in April and October of each year. If the target percentage at that time is below 40%, the Secretary General shall award the number of continuing contracts necessary to bring the target percentage back to 40%; and if the target percentage at that time is below 50%, the Secretary General may at his/her discretion award additional continuing contracts until the 50% target percentage is reached. All those appointments shall be made by order of seniority from the eligibility list, and shall enter into force on the first day of the following semester.” [Article 19 d.i.]
Taking into consideration the most recent personal registry dated March 31, 2011, the Staff Committee acknowledges that the percentage is below the actual minimum target. Please provide the latest list of eligibility up to April 30, 2011, and reopen the fourth competition according with the General Standards.
Sincerely,
René Gutierrez
President
