PUBLIC SECTOR EMPLOYMENT BEGINS For six years, the government has controlled every new job, and now there is only ONE CONDITION for state jobs.

After a six-year hiatus, as much as the state strictly controlled all public sector jobs, the freeze no longer applies. Starting next year, amendments to the law will significantly relax admission to “state work.” Some conditions will still exist, but the government and its commission will not control or approve, as before, every new job.

Practically, from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023, employment will be facilitated for both fixed and indefinite periods. This is foreseen by the Amendments to the Law on the Budgetary System, which state that users of public funds will be able to hire new people in the next three years without special permission and consent of the Government of Serbia.

At the same time, the law stipulates certain conditions. Thus, institutions, establishments and companies will be able to hire according to their needs and the money they have, but with the restriction that they cannot hire more than 70 percent of new workers of the number of employees who left last year.

This means that if 10 employees of an institution left that institution during the past year, the maximum number of new employees can be seven without the prior consent of the government commission.

At the same time, the Serbian Government will decide on the admission of new employees higher than 70% in relation to those who left the previous year, with the prior opinion of the Ministry of Finance.

The Minister of Finance, Siniša Mali, assessed that the amendments to the law provide for a more flexible control of employment in the public sector, according to personnel needs.

With the new solution, according to the minister, institutions, institutions and companies assume a great responsibility and decide if they need a new job. At the same time, Mali noted, the quality of its services must be improved.

“There was control of employment in the public sector and according to the IMF, our desire was not to loosen the strict control system, but to regulate it in some way, so that not all new employees had to go to the employment commission of the Government of Serbia to it received the consent, but to transfer responsibility to the institutions and institutions that employ it ”, explained the Minister.

The bill also establishes that employment will be possible if the company or state institution has secured funds for salaries, that is, salaries, with the corresponding taxes and contributions for new employees, as well as under the conditions and in accordance with the procedures provided for by special regulations.

When there is no restriction

These restrictions do not apply to judges, prosecutors and deputy prosecutors, teaching staff of an institution of higher education, and scientific and research staff of an accredited scientific research organization in accordance with the law.

Likewise, they do not refer to persons designated and appointed in state bodies and bodies of territorial autonomy and local self-government units, as well as directors of public companies, capital companies, institutions and public bodies founded by the Republic or units of territorial autonomy, that is, local self-government.

The restrictions do not apply to people with disabilities according to the regulations governing the field of vocational rehabilitation and employment of people with disabilities.
