The call for 85 fixed-term labor positions in the General State Administration, published on July 10, 2026, contained material errors in its annex for the distribution of positions. The Resolution of July 14, 2026 from the Under-Secretariat of the Ministry of the Presidency, Justice and Relations with Parliament corrects those errors and replaces the original annex with the final and corrected table, effective from July 16, 2026.
Along with the correction of the annex, the resolution declares August as non-working time for the purposes of calculating deadlines in the selection process, which means a real extension of the time available for applicants in any procedure whose deadline was in progress or pending to begin.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution entirely replaces the annex of the original call with the corrected distribution of positions by specialty, competition type and professional group. The specialties called, the groups and the distribution between open competition and internal promotion are set as follows:
| Specialty | Professional group | Open competition | Internal promotion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sociology | M3 | Yes | Yes |
| Graphic Arts | M1 | Yes | Yes |
| Building and Civil Works | M1 | Yes | Yes |
| General Maintenance | E2 | Yes | Yes |
| Transport and Logistics | E2 | Yes | Yes |
| Administrative Services | E1 | Yes | Yes |
| Commercial Services | E1 | Yes | Yes |
The process is governed by the IV Single Collective Agreement for labor personnel of the General State Administration and includes position reserves for persons with disabilities within the legally established quota, both in open competition and in internal promotion.
The declaration of August as non-working time does not modify the participation requirements or the bases of the call: it only suspends the calculation of deadlines during that month, so that any deadline that was running is automatically extended by the working days equivalent to the month of August.
Economic and operational impact
For applicants, the most immediate impact is the effective extension of deadlines resulting from August being non-working time. If a deadline for submitting documentation or for correction expired in August, that period does not count and the deadline resumes in September.
From an operational perspective, the correction of the annex is relevant because the original table contained material errors that could generate confusion about the exact number of positions available in each specialty and competition type. With the publication of the corrected table, applicants have the definitive information to plan their participation.
For the administrations and organizations calling the positions, the correction implies adjusting internal processes for managing the selection process to the new distribution of positions, ensuring that the selection panels and bodies work with the definitive data.
Who does it affect?
- Applicants by open competition to any of the 7 specialties called in groups M3, M1, E2 and E1.
- Labor public employees of the AGE who apply for internal promotion in the same specialties and groups.
- Persons with disabilities included in the reserve quota, both in open competition and in internal promotion.
- HR management bodies of the ministries and organizations of the General State Administration that participate in the selection process.
- Academies and exam preparation providers for AGE labor personnel, who must update the information about positions and deadlines they provide to their students.
Practical example
An applicant for the specialty of Administrative Services (group E1) by open competition who had received a notification on July 25, 2026 with a deadline of 10 working days to submit documentation would find that this deadline is suspended throughout the month of August. The calculation of the 10 working days does not resume until September 1, 2026, which gives them sufficient time to gather and submit the required documentation without risk of being excluded from the process due to deadline.
Similarly, a labor worker of the AGE with a position in group E2 who wants to access the specialty of General Maintenance by internal promotion must verify in the corrected annex the exact number of positions available for that competition type, since the original table contained errors that have now been corrected.
What should applicants do now?
- Download the corrected annex published on July 16, 2026 in the BOE and verify the exact number of positions available in the specialty and competition type you are applying for, discarding the original table from July 10.
- Recalculate all deadlines taking into account that August is non-working time: any deadline in progress or to begin does not count during that month and resumes or begins in September.
- Confirm the professional group (M3, M1, E2 or E1) and the correct specialty before formalizing registration or submitting documentation, to avoid exclusions due to errors in participation data.
- Verify the disability quota if you are applying for that reserve, ensuring that the supporting documentation is in order and within the corrected deadline.
- Consult the official source (BOE-A-2026-15483) to always have the final and corrected version of the call.
Frequently asked questions
How many positions are called in total and how are they distributed?
85 positions in total are called: 45 by open competition and 40 by internal promotion. Both competition types include position reserves for persons with disabilities. The specialties called are Sociology, Graphic Arts, Building and Civil Works, General Maintenance, Transport and Logistics, Administrative Services and Commercial Services, in the professional groups M3, M1, E2 and E1.
What changes with the error correction of July 16, 2026?
The Resolution of July 14, 2026 entirely replaces the annex of the original call (published on July 10, 2026) with a corrected table of distribution of positions by specialty and competition type. The errors were material in nature in said annex. The rest of the bases of the call are not modified.
What does it mean that August is non-working time in this selection process?
The resolution declares August as non-working time for the purposes of calculating deadlines in the selection process. This means that no deadline (for submitting documents, correction, claims, etc.) runs during August. If a deadline was in progress when August arrived, it is suspended and resumes on September 1. If a deadline was to begin in August, it will begin in September.
What professional groups do the called positions correspond to?
The positions are distributed among four professional groups of the IV Single Collective Agreement for labor personnel of the AGE: M3 (senior level, includes Sociology), M1 (middle level, includes Graphic Arts and Building and Civil Works), E2 (includes General Maintenance and Transport and Logistics) and E1 (includes Administrative Services and Commercial Services).
Where can I consult the corrected annex with the final distribution of positions?
The corrected and final annex is found in the Resolution of July 14, 2026 published in the BOE (BOE-A-2026-15483). It is essential to use this document and not the annex of the original call from July 10, 2026, which contained material errors that have now been corrected.
