Abstract

By establishing a new structure – the National Tax Administration, the legislator had the right to specify new conditions of work or service binding those who would find employment therein. By 31 May 2017 the NTA bodies were obliged to submit to their employees and officers, respectively, a written proposal specifying the new terms of their employment or service. In the case when such a written work proposal was not offered to
or was rejected by the interested, the existing employment contract or service relationship to date formally expired.
However, the legislator did not explicitly provide for a decision to terminate the legal service relationship of officers who were not presented with a written offer of employment or service, or themselves refused to accept such a proposal. The relevant criteria were not specified, either, according to which the NTA body may not submit employment or service offers to officials.
Constitutional standards and rules for deciding on the content and existence of the service relationship require a decision confirming the expiry of the service. Therefore, the indicated regulations do not meet the standards related to the protection of service relations and lead to arbitrariness of the NTA bodies in this respect. The selection of public service personnel cannot be carried out in an arbitrary manner as part of the reorganization process of the state apparatus, and the reorganization itself cannot be used as an opportunity to exchange officials. This would circumvent the provisions guaranteeing officers increased durability of
their employment.
