Sevilla Activa launches a temporary employment pool with its own regulations

The Board of Directors of Sevilla Activa M.P. S.A.U. approved on July 28, 2026, in an ordinary session and under the first item of the agenda, the Regulations for the temporary employment pool of the provincial company, which organizes temporary hiring within the entity for the first time. The agreement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Seville (BOP) number 182, dated Friday, September 18, 2026, with the official reference BOP-SE-2026-182001, within the Local Administration section. The regulations will enter into force the day following their full publication in the provincial gazette.

Sevilla Activa M.P. S.A.U. is a provincial public commercial company wholly owned by the Provincial Council of Seville. Until now, it did not have its own instrument for organizing its temporary staffing needs, which were covered through ad hoc procedures in each case. The new text, consisting of 16 articles and two final provisions, takes as a reference the experience of the Regulations of the Temporary Employment Pool of the Provincial Council of Seville. The announcement is signed by the Secretary of the Board of Directors, Fernando Fernández Figueroa Guerrero, with an electronic signature date of September 15, 2026.

The invoked regulatory framework

The regulations are issued under the principles and norms applicable to the company as an entity of the institutional public sector:

• Article 23 of the Spanish Constitution and Article 103.3, regarding equality, merit, and capacity in access to public functions.
• Article 55 of Royal Legislative Decree 5/2015, of October 30, which approves the consolidated text of the Law of the Basic Statute of the Public Employee.
• Law 20/2021, of December 28, on urgent measures for the reduction of temporary employment in the public sector.
• Article 3 of Law 40/2015, of October 1, on the Legal Regime of the Public Sector.
• The consolidated text of the Workers’ Statute Law, approved by Royal Legislative Decree 2/2015, of October 23.
• Law 19/2013, of December 9, on transparency, and Law 1/2014, of June 24, on Public Transparency of Andalusia.
• Law 5/2023, of June 7, on the Public Service of Andalusia, and Decree 51/2025, of February 24, regarding supplementary application to local entities.

Order of call and disability reservation

Article 1 establishes the priority with which the company will fill its vacancies or temporary needs:

• First, the temporary employment pool of the Provincial Council of Seville will be used.
• Once this is exhausted, recourse will be had to the pools formed by each category or professional group consisting of candidates from the open-access selective processes and, where applicable, the disability quota processes convened by Sevilla Activa, ordered from highest to lowest qualification.
• When no pool exists for a category, recourse may be had on a subsidiary basis to pools constituted through ad hoc selective procedures.
• Out of every ten calls for a category, nine will be directed to the open-access pool and one to the disability pool.
• No one shall remain in two pools of the same category: only in the one where they hold the best position.

Calls, renunciations, and availability

Communication of the call will be made preferably by telephone, with a record of the day and time, and will be supplemented by SMS and email if there is no response. The reference working hours are from 9:00 to 14:00 hours, and instant messaging may be used if the company enables it. Failure to accept on the same day is considered a renunciation, which leads to the last position in the pool; a second renunciation entails six months in the last place, and a third, exclusion. Justified causes include illness, maternity, paternity, or breastfeeding leave, serious illness of relatives, and passing a selective process in another administration. Supporting documentation must be submitted within 3 business days from the call, through the General Registry, the Electronic Office of the Provincial Council, or the email RRHH_SActiva@dipusevilla.es.

Exclusion, control, and guarantees

Article 7 lists eight causes for the loss of the right to remain in the pool, including voluntary written renunciation, obtaining a permanent position, definitive permanent disability, total retirement, death, loss of nationality, final dismissal, and final disqualification. Before definitive exclusion, a hearing process will be granted for ten business days. The Joint Committee of the Collective Agreement will resolve incidents and will meet at least once a year. The probationary period will comply with Article 14 of the Workers’ Statute, and temporary contracts signed under the regulation shall in no case lead to the recognition of permanent labor staff status.

The approval provides Sevilla Activa M.P. S.A.U. with a regulated, agile, and transparent procedure for selecting temporary labor personnel, with objective rules for ordering and publicity on the electronic office. For candidates, the regulation replaces the discretion of ad hoc procedures with a system of scores, deadlines, and guarantees known in advance.
