Abstract
This paper deals with the topic of a non-active status of civil servant due to organisational reasons. The author specifically focuses on legal grounds that may lead to a civil servant being temporarily placed in a non-active status.
The author analyses available defence instruments for civil servants against temporarily leaving the service. During the non-active status, the civil servant does not execute their service, the period of the non-active status is generally limited to six months.
If the non-active status exceeds the six-month period it shall be decided to terminate the civil service employment. Additionally, the author provides an overview of the rights and duties of both the civil servant and the appointing authority during the period of non-active status.
