Changes Made at the Turn of 2015 and 2016 in the Act of 21 November 2008 on the Civil Service – Comments Selected

Summary/Abstract: Article refers to some elements of the content of the amendment of the Act of 21 November 2008 on the civil service, which was made by the Law of 30 December 2015. In one of the provisions of the amendment changed the manner of selection of candidates for senior positions in the civil service. At the same time the person it-holders were included in the civil service corps. Free and competitive recruitment was replaced by vocation, which in some cases is undertaken by entities performing their functions on the political way. The question is whether it will not affect the operation of these people, and above all, on the criteria for their selection. First the author reminds the essence of the civil service, the idea of its creation and history in Poland, and then refers to the current legal status. In the key part of the article the author points out the importance of political neutrality, which is one of the principles on which civil servants should base their action. Apart from that he expressed an opinion, what will be the effects in case of deviation from this principle (at the same time, then it may be motivated by a purposeful activity).
