Before the Law Commission of the National Assembly, the Minister of the Civil Service, Stanislas Guerini, launched the first steps of his future bill on the civil service, expected “by the end of the year”.
“We need to be able to enter the public service more easily, move more easily within the public service and sometimes be able to leave the public service more quickly,” he explained. He also said he wanted to “better pay those who go out of their way to provide our public services”, more than four years after the “public service transformation law” carried by the government of Édouard Philippe.
A consultation with the unions to come
Concretely, the government wants to facilitate the tenure of apprentices who are satisfactory, rather than forcing them to take a competitive examination. He also intends to make the promotion system more flexible, with promotions sometimes being conditional on recruitment. “Today, I no longer know how to explain to a mayor why he cannot promote a deserving agent when he has not recruited three agents from outside,” he explained, adding: “ We also need to be able to better capitalize on the years spent outside the public service,” said the minister.
Announced in September by Stanislas Guerini, the bill on the civil service must be the subject of consultations with the unions “in the coming weeks”, recalled the minister. The government’s objective is for this text to be finalized “by the end of the year”.
Stanislas Guerini also implicitly ruled out the inclusion on the Assembly agenda of a proposed law governing the State’s use of consulting firms, adopted in October 2022 by the Senate. Questioned on this subject by the socialist MP Cécile Untermaier, he simply recalled the measures already taken by the government to limit the use of consulting firms. Twenty new consultant positions must be created within the administration in 2024, ten fewer than in 2023, he said.
