TERM AND TYPES OF CIVIL SERVICE

Abstract

Employees in public administration, primarily the civil servants, are a particularly important factor for its productivity. Jobs performed by civil servants are specific because the organization within which the jobs are performed possesses inherent particularities. Therefore, it is logical that civil servants have special legal status.

One of the basic elements that determine the status of civil servants is the civil service. Civil service is the overall system of categories into which civil servants are divided according to pre-defined criteria, which constitutes the basis for their advancement, rewards, and movement within the service.

There are two basic types of civil service – career and non-career. Since the two types are seldom found separately in practice, a third type – ixed civil service – may also be included.
