The Balearic government's ministers now have the authority to request that civil servants in their departments work more overtime than the legally mandated limit of 80 hours per year. This stems from a government agreement reached last Friday and published this week in the Official Gazette of the Balearic Islands (BOIB). This measure will allow the government to streamline its work during peak periods. At the proposal of the Minister of Labor, Public Service, and Social Dialogue, Catalina Cabrer, the government has delegated to the ministers the "power to authorize exceeding the annual limit on overtime for civil servants assigned to their respective ministries," the agreement explains. The resolution, signed by President Marga Prohens and Second Vice President Antònia Estarellas, deems it "advisable" to give ministers leeway for "reasons of efficiency and administrative agility."
