Regarding the current situation of "non-regular civil servants" working in local governments nationwide, as a result of a questionnaire survey of more than 1,200 people made up of people working in the field, about half answered that their annual income was less than 2 million yen. I found out.

There have been a series of voices calling for improved treatment, such as "low salary" and "anxiety about the future," and the group that conducted the survey complained that "I want many people to know the current situation of non-regular civil servants."

"Non-regular civil servants" who repeatedly work for one-year contracts in local governments nationwide are responsible for many tasks that support resident services such as childcare workers and librarians, but even if the work content is the same as regular employees, the monthly salary is Improving treatment is an issue, such as low.



A group of people working in the field conducted a questionnaire survey on the Internet from April to June, and received responses from 1252 people.



According to this, 661 people answered that their annual income was "less than 2 million yen" last year, which is about half of the total, 52.8%.



76.6% (959 people) answered "less than 2.5 million yen".



The highest number of regular working hours per week was "30 hours or more and less than 40 hours" at 45.3% (567 people).



35.2% (440 people) answered that their income mainly supports their household budget, including those who live alone or live with their families.



When asked about the number of years of service at the current workplace,


▽ "6 to 10 years" was 21.1% (264 people),


▽ "11 to 15 years" was 9.8% (123 people),


▽ "16 years or more" Is 7% (88 people).



The "indefinite conversion rule" that obliges companies to switch to indefinite employment when non-regular workers with fixed-term employment work for more than 5 years does not apply to local government employees, so many people continue to work by repeatedly renewing contracts. The reality is that they are out.



When asked what they feel on a daily basis,


▽ "low salary" was 42%,


▽ "anxiety about the future" was 34%, and


▽ "rewarding exploitation" was 22%.


There are a series of calls for improved treatment.



In order to improve the treatment of "non-regular civil servants" who work in local governments, a new system that allows bonuses and retirement allowances to be paid started in April last year, but the working hours have become shorter even though the work content has not changed. , There are a lot of voices saying that income has decreased.



Yuriko Watanabe, the representative of the group that conducted the survey at the press conference, said, "Most of the people who support services familiar to residents' lives and take charge of window operations are non-regular civil servants. I want to. "

"Environment where we can work with motivation to receive consultation from residents"

Women in their 50s who continue to work as "non-regular civil servants" in local governments in the Kansai region provide employment counseling for women and people with disabilities.



The woman has been working in the municipality where she currently works for more than 10 years, and the regular working hours per week is about 30 hours.



The woman said, "Regular employees change departments in a few years, but non-regular employees do not change and can provide continuous support, so it is rewarding to support administrative services. However, the contract renews the contract in one year. In order to do that, I have to publish a resume every year, and I'm worried that one day my contract will not be renewed and I will be suspended from hiring. "



In April of last year, the "fiscal year appointment staff system" that allows "non-regular civil servants" to receive bonuses and other benefits began, and women expected that their treatment would improve.



However, in the case of this woman, bonuses have come to be paid due to the transition of the system, but the monthly salary has been reduced by about 30,000 yen, so it is said that the annual income will not change.



Furthermore, it is said that the amount of work has increased significantly due to the influence of the new coronavirus.



In the women's department, in addition to the work support work that has been done so far, I am in charge of accepting and examining benefits applications for people who may lose their homes.



According to women, about 80% of the staff working in the same department are non-regular, and the amount of work has more than doubled compared to before the spread of the infection.



This June's income was about 200,000 yen, including overtime pay.



The woman said, "The number of consultations related to life itself has increased due to the corona disaster, and only responsibility and pressure have increased. In order to provide better services to the residents, we need an environment where non-regular employees who receive consultations can work with motivation. I think that the current treatment is supported by the rewarding and voluntary aspects of non-regular civil servants, but I feel that I rely too much on that alone. I cannot improve the treatment. I'm worried about whether we can maintain administrative services in the future. "
