More equality or less precarity?: the teaching bonus of the temporary university teacher after the corresponding merit assessment

Commentary on Supreme Court ruling 1111/2020, of 10 December

Abstract

The Supreme Court recognizes the right of non-permanent research teaching staff, whether fluently-time or part-time (equivalent periods), to submit the carried-out teaching activity every 5 years (the so-called five-year periods) to an evaluation before their employer university. Consequently, if they pass it favorably, they must have the right to acquire and consolidate the bonus for teaching merits related to each one of those periods in an annual amount according to the teaching and research figure in question, in the same terms as the permanent teaching staff.
