Tocantins 247 - The Special Technical Commission for the Restructuring of Public Careers in the State held its first meeting this Friday, the 15th. Composed of representatives from the powers and sectors of the State, the goal is to develop an administrative reform that organizes and standardizes labor relations between the State and its employees, and contributes to human resources policy, as well as to the alignment of state legislation with federal legislation.
The work of the temporary committee is mediated by the Committee on Administration, Consumer Protection and Public Services (CADCSP) of the Legislative Assembly, of which Deputy Ricardo Ayres (PSB) is the president.
Ayres emphasizes that the goal is to obtain a leaner and more productive administrative machine and to establish a new relationship between the branches of government. "This is absolutely necessary given our commitment to the equivalence between the minimum salaries of the branches of government, and to the efficiency of public service," the legislator reinforced.
The congressman presented a table showing the salary differences across various branches of government for similar roles. An administrator, an economist, and a zootechnician in the Executive branch begin their careers with a salary of R$ 3.069,71. The same position in the Public Defender's Office receives R$ 3.737,10, and the Court of Justice pays R$ 7.394,47.
Participants at the meeting were warned by government representatives regarding state spending on personnel. According to the Secretary of Planning, David Torres, the payroll has been in violation of the Fiscal Responsibility Law (LRF) since 2013, and the Executive branch only has a forecast to meet payroll obligations until November 2015.
The representative from Igeprev, Gilson Oliveira, pointed out that the institute will only have resources to pay pensions until 2019; from then on, according to Gilson, the department will have to resort to the Executive branch to provide the necessary resources to fulfill its obligations. Given these observations about the financial difficulties, one of the solutions suggested is the standardization of salary progressions, since there are large disparities, according to David Torres, between the various categories of state employees.
It was decided at the meeting that each agency should nominate a representative to the special commission tasked with drafting the proposal for reforming the state's public administration across the various branches of government. Nominations must be submitted at the commission's next meeting, scheduled for June 15th.
Also present at the meeting were the Chief Secretary of the Civil House, Télio Leão Ayres, representing Governor Marcelo Miranda; the Public Defender General, Marlon Costa; the President of the TCE (Court of Accounts), Manoel Pires; the State Secretary of Administration, Geferson Barros; the Attorney General of the Assembly, Dorema Costa; and deputies Olyntho Neto (PSDB), Valderez Castelo Branco (PP), and Cleiton Cardoso (PSL), among other guests.
