Purpose of granting civil service status:

- at least two years in state service;
- free civil service post in the course of the post schedule;
- degree of employment of at least 20 weekly hours in the last two years before obtaining civil service status (the times of maternal or paternal leave as well as of part-time work for childcare, even if less than 20 weekly hours, shall be taken into account in such period to the extent of one year at maximum);
- above-average work performance;
- successful service training (Module 2) or equivalent service training in the past;
