Usage Note

Funcionarial is a technical adjective formed from funcionario (civil servant) and applies to anything pertaining to the public-service corps — cuerpo funcionarial, régimen funcionarial, etc. It is invariable in gender and found almost exclusively in administrative, labour-law, and journalistic contexts. Outside Spain it is rare; Latin American equivalents tend to use del funcionariado or de los funcionarios.
