The Transfer of Civil Servants according to Law No 188/1999 - Recent Modifications

Abstract

Transfer for work considerations is mostly unilateral, mainly based on the public authority’s will – the civil servants cannot refuse the transfer, otherwise they might be released from office. The only case exempted from this rule is transfer on request. Modifications with regard to the transfer of civil servants with management positions have occurred starting with October 6th 2009, while important modifications will affect the process of job occupation in case of collective transfer, starting with January 1st 2010.
