La terminación de los nombramientos provisionales sin contar con el ganador del concurso de méritos y oposición como vulneración de los derechos al trabajo y la seguridad jurídica

Abstract

In Ecuador, provisional appointments are issued by the appointing authorities to fill vacant positions. These appointments end once a merit-based competition is conducted, ultimately declaring a winner and leading to a permanent appointment. This approach aims to highlight the administration's failure to perform such merit-based competitions, which results in the arbitrary dismissal of employees. The research examines and identifies connections among legal doctrines, court rulings, and comparative law. To end provisional appointments, it must be ensured that the conditions recognized in the legal frameworks of our legislation are fulfilled, ensuring that the rights to work and legal certainty are not undermined or violated.
