The Canary Islands Employment Service accelerates subsidies for integration enterprises

The Canarian Employment Service has agreed to apply urgent processing to the 2026 call for grants aimed at labor insertion in insertion companies and the definitive labor insertion of people at risk or in situations of vulnerability, co-financed with European funds. The decision is contained in the Resolution of October 29, 2026, from the organization’s Directorate, published in the Official Gazette of the Canary Islands (Boletín Oficial de Canarias) no. 223, of November 9, 2026, in section III (Other Resolutions), under number 3852 and official reference boc-a-2026-223-3852.

The resolution is based on two previous regulations: the Order of June 30, 2025, from the Ministry of Tourism and Employment, which approved the regulatory bases of the procedure (published in the BOC no. 137, of July 11, 2025, with a correction of errors in the BOC no. 182, of September 15, 2025), and Resolution no. 8432/2026, of October 14, from the Presidency of the Canarian Employment Service, which approved the 2026 call under a competitive bidding process.

Deadlines are reduced by half, with two exceptions

The agreement applies article 33 of Law 39/2015, of October 1, on the Common Administrative Procedure of Public Administrations, which allows for the declaration of urgency in a procedure when reasons of public interest concur.

• The deadlines of the ordinary procedure are reduced by half.
• Deadlines relating to the submission of applications and the filing of appeals are excluded from this reduction.
• The declaration may be adopted ex officio or at the request of the interested party; in this case, the organization itself decides.

The Executive justifies the measure based on “the advanced stage of the budget year” and the pending administrative procedures to resolve the file, in order to expedite the granting of the aid. The Directorate acts under the first additional provision of the Order of June 30, 2025, which empowers it to dictate measures for the interpretation, application, and execution of the bases, and under the competencies of article 8.4 of Decree 118/2004, of July 29, on the organic structure of the organization, in relation to article 9.2.c) of Law 12/2003, of April 4, of the Canarian Employment Service.

What the grants cover

The aid, framed within the European Social Fund Plus Canary Islands 2021-2027 Program, has two purposes:

• Financially compensate part of the worker’s salary and the employer’s Social Security contribution borne by the integration company, for all concepts, during the first three years from the signing of the contract.
• Promote the transition to the ordinary market for people at risk or in situations of vulnerability who have already worked in integration companies, through indefinite hiring in non-integration companies or through their incorporation into self-employment.

The resolution does not detail amounts or the territorial distribution of the funds, which correspond to the call approved on October 14.

No appeal, but with opposition

The text orders the publication of the resolution in the Official Gazette of the Canary Islands and indicates that no appeal may be filed against it, in accordance with article 33.2 of Law 39/2015. However, it specifies that opposition to the act may be alleged so that it may be considered in the resolution that ends the procedure, according to article 112.1 of the same law.

The document appears signed in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria on October 29, 2026, by the Vice-Minister of Employment, Isabel León Villalobos, acting as a substitute for the Directorate by virtue of Order No. 1273/2026, of October 26.

Impact for the beneficiary entities

The declaration of urgency means that integration companies and requesting entities face a compressed administrative calendar: all procedures following the application, including requirements and resolution, will be resolved in half the time. For the labor integration network of the Canary Islands, which depends on these contributions to sustain salaries and contributions for people in situations of vulnerability, the change may translate into an earlier resolution of the grants within the current budget year.
