Public employment

Introduction

The public employment system is characterized by a regime of absolute job security, which prevents arbitrary and discretionary dismissals. The only way to terminate the employment relationship is through administrative procedures that include the right to defense, the presentation of evidence, and any other necessary explanations or clarifications. Although there are a few exceptions to this rule, the purpose of this system is to protect public servants, who enjoy a level of job security unmatched in the private sector.

Public Employment Law

Public employment is governed by special regulations, with principles of administrative law applying. In addition to the framework of law on public employment, government agencies have their statutes, collective agreements, and internal regulations that govern labor relations. It is essential to research these norms beforehand to fully understand their application. Administrative law principles, particularly the national law on administrative procedures and its regulatory decree, also apply. Carefully studying these laws and regulations is crucial to avoid legal challenges arising from non-compliance.
