Disciplinary And Material Liability Of Civil Servants In The Legal System Of The Republic Of Serbia

Summary/Abstract: Liability implies an obligation of an individual or a group to perform a given job. There are two types of liability for the administration and its employees - non-legal and legal liability. The most important types of non-legal liability of the administration for the mistakes made by its employees are moral and political liability. There are two dominant types of legal liability of the administration, i.e. its employees - disciplinary and material liability. Disciplinary liability considers liability of a civil servant for violation of labour discipline. Material liability is the liability of a civil servant for the damage they caused to a government body or any third party. As a civil servant is liable for the damage they cause to the state so is the state liable for the damage it causes to a civil servant, as their employer. Accordingly, the liability for the damage is reciprocal. In order to perform their duties with quality, civil servants must be protected by legal norms. A good civil service system requires both the liability of civil servants for any mistakes made and adequate protection of their rights.
