Guedes now requires long-term budgetary impact assessments to authorize public service exams.
The Ministry of Economy justified the measure by stating that long-term analysis will provide more support for decisions by public managers, since the Union's commitment to civil servants is, on average, 69,8 years.
Reuters The Ministry of Economy will require a long-term budgetary impact study to authorize federal public service examinations, according to a normative instruction published this Wednesday in the Official Gazette of the Union.
The measure, signed by the Minister of Economy, Paulo Guedes, will take effect from July 1st of this year.
Today, the Fiscal Responsibility Law (LRF) and the Budget Guidelines Law (LDO) already stipulate that requests for public service examinations must include an estimate of the budgetary and financial impact in the fiscal year in which they come into effect and in the two subsequent fiscal years.
In a statement, the Ministry of Economy informed that the long-term perspective in the authorization analysis will provide more support for decisions by public managers, since the Union's commitment to the civil servant is, on average, 69,8 years.
According to calculations presented by the ministry, a public employee remains active for an average of 34,2 years, is retired for 24,6 years, and has 11 years of pension entitlement for their descendants.
"The trend is for these periods to gradually increase due to the rise in life expectancy of the population. Thus, the expense for a civil servant remains on the payroll throughout their active working life, including the retirement period, and continues until their last dependent loses the right to a pension," the ministry said.
The long-term impact estimate of the expenditure will consider, among other factors, promotions and advancements, any adjustments, and the incorporation of bonuses.
