Abuse of temporary public employment: Administrative and jurisdictional responses

Abstract

This paper deals with a long-standing problem in public employment (the abuse of temporary employment) that has wors-ened in recent times as a result of the economic crisis. Specifically, it examines the various responses that have been offered both by public employers and by the Courts and Tribunals of jurisdictional orders that hear the claims made by the two large categories of personnel at the service of Public Administrations (officials and workers in labor regime). Finally, a critical analysis of the main formulas articulated as a reaction to the exposed problem is made, with a reasoned option for the one considered most appropriate.
