Trainees and casual employees The Contrôleur général of places of deprivation of liberty received fifteen trainees during the year, who came from civil service schools, professional training institutions or French universities. Professional training institutions Civil service schools (ENM, ENAP, IRA) Universities 6 6 3 Number of trainees received Two casual contract employees (one hired in July and the other from late October to late December) contributed in supporting the activity of the CGLPL in processing the reports and referred cases. 4.2 Financial resources The financial resources of the CGLPL increased in 2015 as compared to 2014, especially in the staff appropriations, taking into account the authorised job creations. The same applied to operating funds. In fact, the institution’s growth required it to lease new premises, mostly dedicated to meeting rooms and common rooms, on the ground floor of the building at 16-18 quai de La Loire. In addition, additional resources, amounting to 60,000 euros, were obtained in the money bill 2015 for funding the missions. 4.2.1 The payroll In 2015, payroll credits of up to €3.750 M were opened with the CGLPL. The staff appropriations are made up of the remuneration of permanent staff, the contributions to the special “pensions” appropriation account (CAS) and the funds to pay the salaries of external staff. As regards the latter point, it must be noted that the Ruling dated 27 January 2015 increased the monthly flat-rate compensation applicable to the employees and extended the scope of actions entitling a person to compensation, thus making their remuneration more attractive. Due to this, more external staff credits were consumed as compared to 2014 (210,912 euros were consumed in 2015, i.e. +60% as compared to the amount in the previous year). Up to 90% of the available staff appropriations were consumed. This slight underconsumption of appropriations is mostly tied in to the phenomenon of frictional vacancy linked to the replacements and the staggering of job creations in the year. The available credits not tied in to any jobs (350,000 euros) were provided to programme 308 at the end of the project. These credits mainly contributed to funding the creation of the National Commission for the Oversight of Intelligence Techniques. It must be stated that in 2016, in a context of full employment, the CGLPL will not have the same room for manoeuvre as it had in 2015, which allowed it to create two additional jobs in the management. 108
