Минфин разрешил госслужащим работать по контрактам в федеральных и провинциальных учреждениях

The Ministry of Finance has amended its policy on the appointment of civil servants, allowing federal government employees to be appointed to contractual posts under specified conditions. The revised policy also covers contractual positions carrying special pay scales, expanding the options available to civil servants beyond existing MPS, PPPS and SPPS arrangements. Under the amended policy, federal civil servants will be able to serve on contract in addition to appointments under Management Position Scales (MPS), Project Pay Package Scales (PPPS) and Special Pay Scales (SPPS). The policy applies to civil servants of the federal government and allows them to take up contractual positions in both federal and provincial government institutions. Special pay scale positions included Contractual positions with special pay scales have also been brought within the scope of the revised policy. This means eligible federal civil servants can be appointed to such positions while remaining subject to the conditions laid down for contractual appointments. The Finance Ministry has further clarified that civil servants selected through open competition for contractual positions will be considered to be going on deputation. Accordingly, the conditions applicable to deputation will also apply to civil servants taking up these contractual posts. Policy covers federal and provincial institutions The revised policy allows federal civil servants to take contractual positions in institutions operating under either the federal or provincial governments. However, the government must have majority ownership and management authority in the institution for the policy to apply. Government corporations and autonomous institutions have also been included in the scope of the new policy. The amended framework therefore provides federal civil servants with a broader opportunity to serve in contractual roles across eligible government-controlled institutions, while keeping deputation rules applicable to appointments made through open competition.
