61% of the staff of the 21 public companies and entities of the autonomous community of Canary Islands are men, as well as 66% of their management positions, according to a report by the audit court corresponding to the 2019 financial year.

The same report reflects that 67% of public sector workers were temporary in 2019, which produces extensive litigation that in many cases concludes with the passage of plaintiffs from temporary to permanent.

The conclusions of the report were presented this Friday in a parliamentary commission by the president of the Court of Auditors, Pedro Pacheco, who also stated that the Rural Environment Management (GMR) company failed to comply with the legal obligation that at least 2% of jobs be occupied by people with disabilities.

The report reflects the heterogeneity of working conditions in fifteen of the entities analyzed, in which 21 collective agreements govern. GMR has five different agreements to regulate the labor relations of its personnel and Gesplan with three agreements.

The Court of Auditors advises creating a single framework for action that regulates criteria to be met by all entities in terms of working hours, vacations, days of leave, advances, personnel calls and salary increases.

Regarding advances, the Court of Auditors detected cases in which advances were granted to managers on account of future remuneration, despite the fact that these are outside the scope of the collective agreement.

Other deficiencies were detected in the selection of personnel in the case of the hiring of four CEOs and an executive coordinator, due to non-compliance with the principles of publicity, competition, merit and capacity established by the regulations.

They also failed to comply with these principles in the appointments of second-level positions, the public entity Gestión de Servicios para la Salud y Seguridad en Canarias.
