Proposals
We do not know whether the listed proposals were approved or declined.
Proposal 1129
76 - 1129 - Karel Dvořák
The proposal only moves the effective date of the Civil Servants Act to 1 January 2027 instead of the previously proposed date. This is because of the need to safely prepare offices, personnel processes, internal regulations and IT systems for the major reform of the civil service. The postponement is intended to reduce legal and organisational uncertainty and align the introduction of changes with the regular annual systematisation.
Proposal 759
76 - 759 - Aleš Juchelka
The amendment modifies the rules for remunerating a civil servant who cannot work due to a criminal prosecution. Instead of the current salary payment, a new salary replacement of 50% of average earnings, increased by 10% for each dependent up to a maximum of 80%, is provided for. If the employee is not finally convicted or the prosecution is not otherwise terminated in a manner that confirms guilt, the employee will be compensated up to the full amount of average earnings at the end of the proceedings. The period of absence shall be counted as work for leave purposes only if the employee has not been convicted.
Proposal 760
76 - 760 - Aleš Juchelka
The amendment removes a provision that was intended to fix by law that the Secretary of State is entitled to a salary at grade 16. The remuneration of this post, like that of other civil servants, is to be determined by the job catalogue and the actual intensity of the activities performed, not directly by law. The aim is to maintain a uniform system of grading in the civil service. However, as a transitional measure, the Secretaries of State will remain at grade 16 after the transfer.
Proposal 801
76 - 801 - Zuzana Ožanová
The amendment modifies the time limit for conducting performance appraisals of civil servants. The minimum period required for an evaluation is extended from 20 to 30 days of service in several provisions of the law. The aim is to give employees more time to demonstrate improved performance, especially after a negative evaluation. The proposed period is intended to be a compromise between the existing 20 days in the Bill and the 60 days used in the current Civil Service Act.
Proposal 802
76 - 802 - Zuzana Ožanová
The amendment extends the obligation of a public employee to notify his or her employer in connection with a criminal prosecution. The employee must now not only notify the initiation of the criminal prosecution and its subject matter, but also notify the termination of the prosecution and the decision in the case. The aim is to ensure that the employer has the information without delay and can react quickly to any impediments to the performance of his duties. The change is intended to streamline personnel management in the civil service.
Proposal 803
76 - 803 - Zuzana Ožanová
The amendment preserves the possibility for one administrative authority to administer labour relations for another administrative authority. This follows the current practice under the Civil Service Act and is intended in particular for smaller or specialised offices with limited capacity. The aim is to enable the sharing of the personnel and payroll agenda and to increase the efficiency and economy of public administration. The responsibility of the head of the administrative authority as employer is not affected.
Proposal 804
76 - 804 - Zuzana Ožanová
The amendment changes the effective date of the Civil Servants Act. The aim is to give administrations more time to adjust their personnel processes, information systems and organisational preparations for the new legislation. The postponement is also intended to reduce the risk that the law will not come into force until 1 January 2027 due to the legislative process.
Proposal 805
76 - 805 - Zuzana Ožanová
The amendment modifies a change proposed by the Constitutional Law Committee to the Civil Servants Act. It proposes to delete the requirement that the type of work in the organisational structure must also be defined as the ‘predominant’ activity. The job should now be defined only by the field of specialisation and the most demanding activity performed. The aim is to avoid practical problems in determining the predominant activity of a job.
Proposal 806
76 - 806 - Zuzana Ožanová
The amendment removes the obligation to obtain the consent of a member of the Government or the Head of the Government Office when deciding not to open a competition for the next term of office of a senior civil servant. This power is now to remain solely with the head of the administrative office and the staff member immediately above him. The aim is to simplify staffing processes and reduce political influence on decisions on senior civil servants. The change is intended to strengthen the professionalism and autonomy of the civil service.
Proposal 807
76 - 807 - Zuzana Ožanová
The amendment modifies the organisation of information tools and strengthens the coordinating role of the Government Office in the field of personnel management of civil servants. It abolishes the existing concept of one central civil service information system and replaces it with a flexible system of separate registers (e.g. registers of jobs, examinations or organisational structures) which the Government Office can set up as required. The mandatory use of a specific portal for civil service examinations and publication of information is changed to a general requirement for publication by remote access and the central job register will only be used if established. At the same time, a transitional period is provided for the transfer of data from the existing civil service system, which will be abolished on 1 April 2027.
Proposal 808
76 - 808 - Zuzana Ožanová
The amendment simplifies the rules for the so-called systematisation of jobs in the public administration. Compared to the previous amendment, the detailed breakdown of posts by grade is abolished and the systemisation is now focused only on the number of posts and the total amount of salary appropriations; moreover, the proposal links its approval to the state budget process and strengthens the role of the Ministry of Finance in the changes. The approval of the Cabinet Office is now required for organisational changes that may lead to the dismissal or removal of senior staff, except for certain independent offices. At the same time, a transitional provision is introduced whereby the systematisation for 2027 will still be prepared under the existing law.
Proposal 828
76 - 828 - Karel Dvořák
The amendment removes the requirement that a decision not to open a competition for a senior civil servant in a government ministry or government office requires the consent of the relevant member of the government or head of the government office. The consent of the immediate superior and the fulfilment of the condition of an excellent service record should now be sufficient. The aim is to separate political and civil service management and to limit political influence on personnel decisions in the civil service. The amendment strengthens the responsibility of state secretaries and senior officials for the personnel management of the authorities.
Proposal 830
76 - 830 - Karel Dvořák
The amendment tightens the rules for issuing and changes to the organisational structure of administrative authorities. These changes must now be made not only in accordance with the systematisation but also with the principles of efficiency, economy and effectiveness. It introduces the obligation to obtain the prior opinion of an advisory committee, and the request must include a justification of these principles. The aim is to reduce the abuse of organisational changes to make staff redundant and to increase transparency in decision-making in the civil service.
Proposal 832
76 - 832 - Karel Dvořák
The amendment adds to the powers of the Secretary of State in ministries and the Cabinet Office. The new role is to coordinate the activities of the Administrative Office and to monitor the performance of the tasks of the Chief Directors of Sections and other staff as instructed by the relevant member of the Government. The aim is to remove the mismatch between his responsibility for personnel management and his lack of authority in managing the Office’s agendas. The modification is intended to strengthen managerial accountability, coordination and effective management of ministries.
Proposal 834
76 - 834 - Marie Pošarová
The amendment amends the rules on the required education of civil servants in the case of exceptional vacancies. It abolishes the existing limitation to grade 12 only and the time limits for such filling; now the head of the office may decide on an exception whenever it is necessary for the proper functioning of the office. The minimum requirement of a matriculation qualification remains and it is now possible to fill a senior post exceptionally with a person without the full required qualifications, provided that he or she has at least a bachelor’s degree. The aim is to increase the flexibility of the civil service and to allow the entry of practitioners.
Proposal 845
76 - 845 - Jan Berki
The amendment allows the Government to designate by regulation other foreign universities whose education will be recognised for the purposes of employment in the civil service. In addition to schools from the EU, EEA, Switzerland and the UK, the Government may extend recognition to specific institutions from other countries. The aim is to make it easier for graduates of foreign schools to enter the civil service and to increase flexibility in recognising their education without the need for nostrification.
Proposal 849
76 - 849 - Karel Dvořák
The amendment extends the powers of the Secretary of State in government departments and the Cabinet Office. It allows a member of the Government or the head of the Government Office to delegate to him the coordination of the activities of the Office and the control of the performance of tasks by the chief directors of departments and other staff. The aim is to remove the conflict between the Secretary of State’s responsibility for personnel management and his previously limited powers to monitor performance. The change is intended to strengthen ministerial management and the continuity of the civil service.
Proposal 880
76 - 880 - Karel Dvořák
The amendment introduces a new part of the law that establishes the Government Office as the central administrative authority for the legal relations of civil servants. The Government Office is to coordinate personnel policy, selection procedures, training, evaluation and organisational structures across administrative offices. A key role will be given to the State Secretary in the Government Office, who will coordinate the State Secretaries in the various offices and issue binding internal regulations unifying procedures in the civil service. The aim is to strengthen central management, uniform standards and apoliticality of the civil service without creating a new institution.
Proposal 888
76 - 888 - Kateřina Stojanová
The amendment restricts the ability of a member of the Cabinet or the Head of the Cabinet Office to reserve personnel decisions for the Secretary of State. Previously, politicians could assume these powers in any circumstances; this exception is now limited to employment relationships with political associates (e.g. cabinet members, political deputies or advisers). The aim is to preserve the real personal powers of the Secretary of State over other staff of the authority and to strengthen the professionalism and depoliticisation of the civil service. This balances political responsibility for the Cabinet with independent management of the ordinary civil service.
Proposal 891
76 - 891 - Vít Rakušan
The amendment introduces the new institution of a “degree of specialisation” for civil servants, which can be awarded by the head of the office on the basis of skills, work performed and performance evaluation. The aim is to create an expert career path alongside the managerial career path, so that experts can grow professionally and in terms of salary without having to move into managerial positions. The degree of specialisation will be awarded for a fixed period of time and its specific conditions, titles and link to remuneration will be laid down by the government by regulation.
Proposal 892
76 - 892 - Vít Rakušan
The amendment tightens the conditions for dismissal, resignation or immediate dismissal of selected senior civil servants. An explicit positive opinion of the Advisory Committee is now required, while the previous rule that in the absence of an opinion within 15 days, consent is deemed to have been given is abolished. At the same time, the possibility to deviate from the opinion of the committee with a mere justification is abolished, thus effectively strengthening its role. The aim is to increase the protection of senior officials against expedient or politically motivated dismissals.
Proposal 893
76 - 893 - Vít Rakušan
The amendment tightens the conditions for the dismissal or removal of selected senior civil servants. A favourable opinion of the advisory commission is now required, whereas the original amendment provided only for its opinion. It also abolishes the rule that failure to give an opinion within 15 days is deemed to be approval, as well as the possibility of taking a decision contrary to the opinion of the committee with a mere statement of reasons. The aim is to strengthen the protection of senior officials against purposeful appeals and to ensure professional scrutiny of decisions.
Proposal 894
76 - 894 - Radek Vondráček
The amendment clarifies the regulation of the status of deputy members of the Government in the public administration. It explicitly states that, in the case of a minister, his deputy is referred to as “deputy minister”. At the same time, it moves and extends the provision on the substitution of a member of the Government to a separate paragraph and adds the possibility of determining the order of substitution (e.g. first deputy). This is mainly to clarify the rules and to reflect existing practice in the law.
