Abstract
The paper analyses specifics of legal status of civil servants responsible for public governance at public authorities according to Civil Service Act nr. 234/2014. Civil servants enter into legal relationships with authorities which decide on behalf of state about appointment of state servant and about changes, termination and performance of service relationship.
On the other hand, civil servants perform their work as dependant work and they are subordinated to superior persons (senior civil servants). Deciding about rights and duties of state servants belongs to area of public law, which is different to general regulation of work relationship according to Labour Code, which belongs to area of private law.
Authorities executing governance of civil service principally release administrative acts, but also use different instruments as public law contracts or internal (service) regulations. The paper analyses specifics of this instruments in area of civil service.
