Failure to pay the fee or submission after the deadline cannot be rectified and will result in exclusion.

Two phases: examination with 75% weight and merit competition with 25%

The competitive examination consists of two eliminatory exercises. The first is a theoretical questionnaire of 100 multiple-choice questions with four alternative answers, plus five reserve questions, for a maximum of 120 minutes based on the syllabus of Annex I; it is graded from 0 to 15 points, requires a minimum of 7.5, and each correct answer is worth 0.15 points, with a penalty of one-third for each error. The second is a practical test consisting of two cases to be chosen from three, graded from 0 to 5 points with a minimum of 2.5.

The merit phase, to which only those who pass the competitive examination proceed, cannot contribute more than 5 points:

• Training: 0.005 points per hour in courses of at least 20 hours linked to public service, personnel, labor law, payroll, risk prevention, or equality, with a maximum of 3 points.
• Additional qualifications: 0.50 points per bachelor’s degree, degree, or doctorate and 0.25 per diploma.
• Experience: 0.40 points per year in public administrations and 0.20 per year in private companies, with a cap of 2 points.

Ties will be resolved by the score of the first exercise, then by the practical test, and then by experience, with a public draw as the final criterion.

Grading Tribunal and Process Calendar

The tribunal will be appointed by the mayor from among public administration personnel and will have first-class status in accordance with article 30.1.a) of Royal Decree 462/2002. It consists of a titular and substitute president, officials of the City Council of La Solana; a secretary, with voice but no vote; and four members, one proposed by the Regional Government of Castilla-La Mancha, one by the Provincial Council of Ciudad Real, one by another city council, and one by the Council itself.

Once the deadline has expired, the mayor will approve the provisional list of admitted and excluded candidates within one calendar month, which will be published in the BOP, the notice board, and the municipal website. The correction period is open for ten business days and, from the final list onwards, the remaining announcements will be disseminated only on the electronic notice board and at www.lasolana.es, the latter prevailing for the purpose of calculating deadlines. An appeal for reversal may be filed against the final list within one month, or a contentious-administrative appeal within two months.

Impact for Candidates in the Region

The call for applications includes a human resources technician position in a medium-sized city council in the province and arrives with a calendar conditioned by publication in the Official State Gazette, therefore interested parties must monitor both that announcement and the municipal electronic notice board. The combination of an extensive syllabus, an eliminatory practical test, and a merit scale limited to five points makes it necessary to prepare the supporting documentation for courses and employment history in advance, which is valued with reference to the application closing date.
