Disciplinary penalties for civil servants

Damir Juras ; Ministarstvo unutarnjih poslova

Sažetak

This paper offers an overview and description of the punishments which can be given for summary and indictable breaches of official duties together with an overview of historical and comparative legislations. The author concludes that an adequate range of punishments has been determined by law so that sanctions can be individualised according to the specifities of every individual case of breaching official duty. However, he also suggests that legislatively the punishment of “conditional ceasing of official duty” be returned. Furthermore, as a legal consequence of conviction, he suggests the covered probational punishment be erased. This ceases the official’s duties if within a year of serving the disciplinary punishment responsibility for another breach of official duty is confirmed, given that this is in opposition to the principle of individualisation of punishment. Following the example of German Law, for retired government officials, regardless of whether the disciplinary procedure was initiated whilst they were in official government service, for acts committed while in official service, the author proposes punishments of pension reduction and even pension revocation.
