Possibilities of flexible employment in the Hungarian public service regulations

Abstract

Nowadays, we are facing increasingly strong, long-term changes, to which the capacity for quick adaptibility lies in the ability to respond. How flexible a public service can be in such cases is greatly influenced by the regulatory framework. COVID-19 has shown that in such cases, the operational capacity of the civil services provides the most security. The Hungarian civil services passed the examinations well, and the obligations were fulfilled in addition to the possibilities. In the relationship between the state and the public service employee, it is important to provide mutual opportunities and obligations in order for the efficient, good state to work with the best performance even in ordinary normal operation. An overview of the individual regulators of the public services provides an opportunity to compare the regulatory elements and practices of those working in different branches of public service, as well as to adopt good practices through their similarities and special nature.
