Estabilidade no serviço público municipal da cidade de São Leopoldo/RS e suas consequências

Abstract

According to the Constitutional Charter of 1988, stability in the public service will be applied for the nominated civil servant after a written public examination. After the nomination, the new civil servant is subjected to the probational period of two years (changed by the constitucional amendment nr. 19/1998 for three years). The approved serveant is considered stable and may not be dismissed, except due to judged sentence or disciplinary administrative processes (article 41 of the Federal Constitution/1988). This paper aims to reflect on the consequences of stability in the municipal public service in Sao Leopoldo, in the brazilian State Rio Grande do Sul through reports, literature review, consultation in the archives of the City Hall, eletronic papers and observations. To consolidate this article we used a qualitative and observational research. The adopted strategies of change by the city of Sao Leopoldo and presented in this paper indicate that even small changes in the ingrained thinking of public servants are possible and make the difference in a long term.
