Competitive selection for admission to the civil service: basic rules. Competitive selection for admission to the civil service: basic rules Announcement of the competition

There are many civil servants among our readers. However, today's consultation is intended not only for them, but also for those who have a desire to join their ranks. Since the civil service is accepted for the most part on a competitive basis, we will talk about how and under what conditions the competition is held.

The Civil Service Law obliges recruitment to the civil service, in particular, to positions of the third to seventh categories, on a competitive basis. (According to the competition, they are also included in the personnel reserve for the positions of civil servants of categories I-III, appointments to which are carried out by the President of Ukraine and the Cabinet of Ministers. separate order competition.) This rule is written in Art. 15 of this Law. Since there is an absolute majority of civil servants of such categories in the civil service, we will focus on them. We will find the competitive procedure in Procedure No. 169. First, we will find out how the competitive selection is carried out and whether there are restrictions for persons wishing to take part in the replacement competition vacancies civil servants (hereinafter referred to as the competition).

Who conducts the competition and under what conditions

To conduct the competition, the head of the state body, on the basis of his order (instruction), creates a competition commission consisting of the chairman, secretary and members of the commission. It is usually headed by a deputy head. And the staff of the personnel, legal services, as well as other structural divisions(usually their leaders).

A somewhat different competition is organized in government agencies with a small apparatus (less than 5 persons). The competition in them can be conducted by the head of the state body alone or by the competition commission of a higher body (clause 4 of Procedure No. 169).

How to hold a competition in each individual state body is decided by the head, who appoints and dismisses civil servants.

When the Competition is Not Allowed

The competition may not be held if (clause 5 of Order No. 169):

When a civil servant is transferred to an equivalent or lower position in one government agency (this rule was repeated in Resolution No. 423);

Appointments in the order of promotion of civil servants enrolled in the personnel reserve for the relevant position. This provision is also contained in para. 2, paragraph 12 of Regulation No. 199;

If a civil servant has successfully completed an internship (a similar provision is contained in clause 8 of Regulation No. 804).

However, this is far from full list. According to the current Decree No. 423, without competitive selection and internship for the civil service, they are also allowed to accept:

1) civil servants in the positions of managers who:

- elected or approved collegiate body according to the law;

- appointed by ministers, heads of other central government bodies in coordination with the heads of local government bodies;

2) civil servants who held relevant positions in government agencies and executive bodies advice, including liquidated - into newly created bodies of state executive power and local self-government;

3) civil servants who previously terminated their service due to resignation;

4) graduates of higher educational institutions who received higher education specializing in the field of knowledge" Public administration"- to the state bodies that sent them to study under the state order.

Note!

The Cabinet of Ministers also fixed special conditions for the admission to the civil service of employees of the patronage service. After all, members of the Cabinet of Ministers and chairmen of local state administrations are allowed to independently select persons for the positions of the patronage service (clause 1 of Procedure No. 851). Let us clarify that these are the positions of an assistant, adviser, head of the press service, or others provided for by the staffing table.
