Note on EPSO Competition

News, Working conditions
USF

The Union Syndicale Fédérale (USF) has issued a note addressing the organisation of EPSO competitions on work computers and the related implications for staff. The document sets out the union’s position on this practice, highlighting key concerns regarding working conditions, equal treatment, and the appropriate use of institutional resources.

As EPSO continues to adapt its selection procedures, including through digital formats, questions have arisen about the suitability and consequences of requiring candidates to use their personal equipment. The USF note contributes to this discussion by outlining potential risks and considerations that should be taken into account to ensure fair and transparent conditions for all participants.

This publication aims to bring clarity to the issue and to support informed dialogue between staff, institutions, and stakeholders on how EPSO competitions should be conducted in a way that respects both staff rights and organisational responsibilities.
