Contract Agents: extension of their contracts

No comments
One of the changes brought by the new Staff Regulations is the extension of the maximum duration from 3 to 6 years of the period of employment for Contractual Agents type 3b.
While contract extensions or renewals are not automatic and depend on the needs of the service, the new possibility to extend these contracts beyond 3 years naturally creates some legitimate expectation.
We believe that our CA colleagues and their families deserve respect, and have the right to avoid last moment planning of their professional and private lives.
Unfortunately, we have been informed about some very late notifications of contract renewals, causing uncertainty and frustration in our CA colleagues.
Therefore, we sent a message to the Unit in charge of these administrative procedures asking for the provision of contract renewals (or non-renewal notifications) to CAs no later than 3 months before the expiration of their current employment period.
At this link, you can find the answer given by the "Recruitment and Training" Head of Unit, giving space to a positive follow-up of our request.
During this transition phase before the new procedure is implemented, R&D is available to assist Contract Agents who are facing problems with the renewal of their contract - or simply looking for more information.
