Civil Service in the Slovak Republic

Abstract

The author states in this paper that a civil service is one of the indicators of the political relations in the state reflecting the society. In a democratic state, including the Slovak Republic, civil service is based on democratic values in its internal organization as well as within its activities as a whole. Civil service is not understood uniformly in law theory. Civil service has two sides –organizational and legal. Civil service includes a wide area of organizational and controlling relationships. Civil service in its legal form represents a complex legal institute with an inter-disciplinary character; it incorporates standards of multiple legal areas, mainly administrative, constitutional and labour law.
