rights and duties

Public employees’ committees are structures formed by the service’s public employees (themselves).

In each public employer only one public employees’ committee may be formed. However, if the public employer has peripheral establishments or de-concentrated organic units the respective public employees may also form public employees’ sub-committees.

Public employees’ committees exist to defend their rights and interests being recognized to them a wide range of rights, such as:

  • Receive all information necessary to the fulfillment of their activity;
  • Being consulted and issue prior opinion about, for instance, internal regulations drawing or work schedules organization and setting;
  • Exercise management control;

  • Participate in the drawing up of labour legislation;
  • Convene public employees’ general meetings;
