For people who are currently in the trial period, the trial period ends and they are classified in a grade corresponding to their professional position from the day of this law.
Additional regulations for the transition period for the termination of the job placement and the service for the agency for civil servants before this law came into force.
The adoption of the (changed) law on the squad and civil servant by the National Assembly is proof of the high political determination to build up a modern, honest, rationalized and effective work team.
