Job Stability for Public Servants
Guarantee of continued employment in the position, acquired by a public servant appointed through a competitive examination after completing the evaluation period required by law, generally three years of actual service. Once stable, the public servant may lose the position only in circumstances provided by law, such as a court decision, an administrative proceeding with full defense rights, or a performance evaluation as provided by law. It should not be confused with permanency or tenure.
