Applicants who passed the teaching civil service examination called by Catalonia in December 2022 now have their formal appointment as career civil servants. The Order EFD/1109/2026, published on October 23, 2026, closes the process initiated almost four years ago and sets December 31, 2024 as the date for economic and administrative effects.
This means that seniority calculation, the start of accrual of three-year bonuses, and any other remuneration effect linked to career civil servant status begins on that date, regardless of when the order was published.
What does this regulation establish?
Order EFD/1109/2026 formalizes the appointment as career civil service personnel of applicants selected in the selection process called by the Generalitat of Catalonia through Resolution EDU/4103/2022, of December 23. The teaching bodies affected are as follows:
| Teaching body |
|---|
| Secondary Education Teachers |
| Official Language School Teachers (EOI) |
| Plastic Arts and Design Teachers |
| Plastic Arts and Design Workshop Masters |
| Specialist Teachers in Singular Vocational Training Sectors |
| Primary School Teachers |
The process included two differentiated internship phases: an ordinary phase and an exceptional phase, both conducted during the 2024-2025 academic year and both declared passed through resolutions of the Department of Education and Vocational Training of Catalonia.
The annex to the order contains individual data for each person appointed: PRP (Personnel Registration Number), partial ID, specialty, shift and score obtained in the selection process. This data allows each affected person to verify their specific situation in the official text.
Economic and operational impact
The most relevant economic aspect of this order is the retroactivity to December 31, 2024. This has direct consequences for several remuneration concepts:
- Seniority: Calculation as a career civil servant begins on December 31, 2024, not on the date of publication of the order (October 2026).
- Three-year bonuses: The first three-year bonus will begin to accrue from that retroactive date, which may result in salary differences to claim or receive in the next paycheck.
- Administrative effects: Any right linked to career civil servant status (transfer competitions, internal promotion, etc.) is also counted from December 31, 2024.
From an operational perspective, the Catalan education administration will need to manage possible settlements of arrears resulting from retroactivity, and educational centers will see the contractual situation of affected teachers regularized.
Who does it affect?
- Teaching civil service examination candidates: All applicants who passed the civil service examination called by Resolution EDU/4103/2022 and who completed the internship phase (ordinary or exceptional) in the 2024-2025 academic year.
- Department of Education and Vocational Training of Catalonia: Responsible for managing appointments, retroactive payroll and administrative files of new civil servants.
- Public educational centers in Catalonia: Where appointed teachers provide services, which will see their career civil servant staff regularized.
- Labor advisors and teaching unions: Who must inform their members about retroactive economic effects and appeal deadlines.
Practical example
A teacher selected in the 2022 Catalonia civil service examinations for the Secondary Education Teachers body, who passed the exceptional internship phase during the 2024-2025 academic year, is appointed a career civil servant with effects from December 31, 2024.
Although the order is published in October 2026, their seniority as a career civil servant is counted from December 2024. If the first three-year bonus accrues after three years, the calculation will start on that retroactive date. Furthermore, if between December 2024 and October 2026 transfer competitions have been called with the requirement of being a career civil servant, this teacher could claim their status from the retroactive date.
To verify their exact situation, the teacher must consult the annex to Order EFD/1109/2026, where their PRP, partial ID, specialty, shift and score appear. If they detect any error, they have one month to file a reconsideration appeal or two months to go to the National Court from the publication date (October 23, 2026).
What should those affected do now?
- Verify the data in the official annex: Check the annex of the Order EFD/1109/2026 and verify that your PRP, partial ID, specialty, shift and score are correct.
- Review payroll and retroactive effects: Contact the education administration or your labor advisor to verify if salary differences have been generated due to retroactivity to December 31, 2024 (three-year bonuses, seniority).
- Act within the deadline if there are errors: If you detect any error in your data or in the effects of the appointment, you have one month from October 23, 2026 to file a reconsideration appeal, or two months to appeal to the National Court.
- Consult rights derived from retroactivity: Verify if between December 31, 2024 and the publication date any processes (transfers, internal promotion) have been called in which your status as a career civil servant would have given you rights. Consult with your union or advisor.
- Keep documentation: Keep a copy of the order, the annex with your data and any resolution of the internship phase. These are documents you will need in future transfer competitions and promotion processes.
