| Abstract [eng] |
Since restoration of Lithuanian independence, civil servants used to be differently determined: e.i., officials of the government public administration and law enforcement, officials, civil servants, public or equivalent servants. According to the current Law on Civil Service – governs the legal status of the civil service, rights and duties of a civil servant – activities of the civil servant are linked with public administration. However, despite the fact that specific aspects are regulated under the Law on Civil Service, the provisions of the Labor Code are applied to the civil servants in a case when their status, rights and duties are not covered by the special legislation (i.e., the Law on Civil Service). In a broader manner, a civil servant is an employee as well, but the service legal relationship have their own features. The employee working under an employment contract and a person working in a civil service have significant differences, i.e., special legal regulation, more restrictive rights and obligations ratio, the special requirements for persons applying to civil service, etc. |
