In the event of a tie, priority will be given to the underrepresented gender in the category, in accordance with the entity’s II Equality Plan.

The resulting pool will be used automatically to fill temporary vacancies, and the selected person may choose the position from among the active vacancies. Contracts will be governed by the II Collective Agreement of the Corporation and the Public Broadcasting and Television Company of Extremadura, published in DOE no. 127, of July 3, 2015.
