The new regulations have defined general guidelines for contracting. The maximum contract duration for any employment pattern, except for temporary contracts, is three years renewable based on the employee's performance. Temporary contracts have a duration of less than one year. The actual contract duration is determined by the employer.
The regulations also emphasise that priority in appointments is given to citizens of the country for any vacant positions in federal entities. Non-citizens may be appointed if there are no candidates who meet the requirements of the vacant position. The regulations also allow the appointment of retired military and civilian personnel who are citizens of the country in the Federal Government.
