Local officials in labour legislation

Radnopravni status općinskih načelnika, gradonačelnika, župana i njihovih zamjenika uređen je tek djelomice, nesustavno, segmentarnim normiranjem u više posebnih propisa. U radu su analizirane radnopravno relevantne odredbe zakona koji uređuju lokalnu i područnu (regionalnu) samoupravu, sprječavanje sukoba interesa, neposredni izbori lokalnih dužnosnika, postupak primopredaje vlasti te plaće i naknade za rad u lokalnoj i područnoj (regionalnoj) samoupravi. Razmotrena je i supsidijarna primjena odredbi Zakona o radu na prava lokalnih dužnosnika i postupak donošenja pojedinačnih rješenja o utvrđivanju tih prava. Predloženi su glavni kratkoročni i dugoročni pravci unapređenja regulacije.Labour legislation has regulated the status of municipal mayors, town mayors, county governors and their deputies partially, haphazardly, and by segmented regulation in several separate pieces of legislation. Labour-related provisions of the laws regulating local and regional self-government are analysed, together with the prevention of conflict of interest, direct election of local functionaries, transfer of power, and salaries and bonuses in local and regional self-government. Subsidiary implementation of the provisions of the Labour Act on the rights of local functionaries is also discussed, as well as the procedure for passing individual decisions on those rights. The main short-term and long-term ideas for regulation improvement are suggested
