Palhoça City Hall personnel management irregularities

Overview

The Tribunal de Contas do Estado de Santa Catarina (TCE/SC) identified several personnel management irregularities within the Palhoça City Hall. An audit of administrative acts from early 2024 revealed an excessive number of commissioned positions and the frequent use of temporary contracts for permanent administrative roles.

The audit also flagged irregular financial practices, including the payment of “jetons” or “cost allowances” to municipal prosecutors using legal fees without objective distribution criteria. Other issues included habitual overtime payments, irregular health hazard premiums, and structural deficiencies in the Ombudsman’s office. The TCE/SC has ordered corrective measures, requiring the municipality to regulate the distribution of legal fees and implement adjustments within 30 to 180 days.
