15-day public hearing on the temporary employment pool order

The Department of Economy, Finance and Public Administration has opened a 15-calendar-day public hearing period regarding the draft order that will regulate the constitution and operation of temporary employment pools and the procedures for the selection, appointment, and termination of temporary staff, intended to provisionally fill job positions within the Administration of the Generalitat. The announcement is published in the Official Gazette of the Generalitat Valenciana (DOGV) no. 10489, of November 9, 2026, with reference DOGV-C-2026-35127. The calculation of the period begins the day following publication; therefore, contributions may be submitted until November 24, 2026.

The procedure is supported by articles 14 and 16 of Law 4/2023, of April 13, on citizen participation and the promotion of associations in the Comunitat Valenciana. The future order develops Decree 136/2026, of September 18, of the Consell (DOGV no. 10458, of September 24, 2026), which approved the Regulations for the selection, mobility, and provision of job positions in the Administration of the Generalitat. Its article 34 expressly refers to an order from the department competent in public service matters, following negotiation with trade union organizations, to establish the constitution, priority, and operation of the pools, as well as the score and merits that will determine the order of those registered.

That regulation repealed Decree 3/2017, of January 13, and dedicates Chapter II of Title II to temporary staff (articles 32 to 38), covering the regime of pools linked to public employment offers, pools for positions of a labor nature, electronic registration, and the Monitoring Commission. The new order must specify that framework: it is the regulation that will determine how the lists are constituted, how the call-ups are ordered, and how interim staff covering vacancies, substitutions, and temporary programs are appointed and terminated across all departments that hire temporary personnel.

How to participate and what can be consulted

The announcement, signed in València on November 5, 2026, establishes two channels for participation:

• GVA Participa portal (https://gvaparticipa.gva.es), where the draft regulation and information on background, problems to be solved, necessity and opportunity for approval, objectives, and possible alternative solutions can be consulted.
• Email dgfp@gva.es, to send allegations, suggestions, or observations.
• A single period of 15 calendar days from the day following publication in the DOGV.

Which matters are at stake

According to the regulation that the order develops, the content directly affects the professional life of the applicants:

• Establishment of pools by bodies, scales, temporary professional groupings (APT), and functional professional groupings (APF), and within the territorial scopes deemed appropriate.
• Specific pools for people with intellectual disabilities, with differentiated and adapted bases.
• Registration via a standardized form and by electronic means within a period of ten business days from the publication of each call.
• Order of precedence and merits, with possible exceptions to the call to protect women victims of gender or sexual violence, victims of terrorism, and people with disabilities.
• Appointment and termination of interim civil service personnel, including their deactivation from other pools while occupying a position.

Who promotes and who monitors the pools

Management is the responsibility of the Directorate General of Public Service, which is also the unit to which the email for allegations is addressed. The monitoring of the establishment and operation of the pools falls to the Monitoring Commission for Temporary Employment Pools, a joint body attached to that directorate general and composed of one person from each trade union organization with representation on the Sectoral Table of Public Service and an equal number of representatives from the Administration. The titular presidency is held by Amparo Hernández García, representing the Administration of the Generalitat, following the Resolution of October 16, 2026, of the Directorate General of Public Service (DOGV of October 21, 2026), which replaced Marisa Viciano Aguirre in the position.

The announcement is signed by Alida C. Mas Taberner, Undersecretary of Economy, Finance, and Public Administration.

The relevance is twofold: the order is the missing piece to apply the new selection and provision regulation, and its content will determine the calls for thousands of people waiting for a temporary position in the regional Administration. Therefore, the hearing process is the last opportunity for unions, applicants, and contracting departments to correct aspects such as the order of precedence, registration deadlines, or termination scenarios before the regulation reaches the Consell.
