Resumption of submission of retirement and pre-retirement files for finance sector employees

The Ministry of Finance has lifted the freeze on the submission of retirement and pre-retirement files, in a number of sectors after gaining approval from the Directorate General of Public Administration, pending its extension to other sectors of activity.

Such a decision, slated to take effect as from October 6th, will certainly hearten thousands of workers from the financial sector who have been eagerly waiting for the green-light from the relevant authorities allowing them to vie for retirement and early retirement.

This much-awaited move will thus rescind a previous ministerial decision taken on 11 June of this year, which provided for the freezing of study of all the submitted retirement and pre-retirement files, at the level of departments and public institutions, to avoid recording any deficit in the conduct of human resources. 

The correspondence, of which “Echorouk” holds a copy, notes that the relevant Directorate has been receiving daily requests from employees seeking retirement or pre-retirement, and after making a deep perusal of the situation it has reached a decision to lift the freeze on the matter, a decision that canceled the premiership’s instruction dated 11 June 2016.
