Unequal Treatment in Certain Areas of Municipal Employment
Unequal Treatment in Certain Areas of Municipal Employment

Summary/Abstract: The main objective of Act CXXV of 2003 on equal treatment and the promotion of equal opportunities is to promote conformity with the principle of equal treatment, including – inter alia – the legal relationships of municipalities. In performing the policing duties of municipalities, more specifically concerning the jobs of public domain supervisors and assistant community support officers, significant differences can be observed in the rules pertaining to the same types of employment of the Acts (Mt. and Kttv.) governing these jobs. In meeting their law enforcement tasks, municipalities may engage persons in assistant community support officer positions as employees, employed either directly by the municipality or, in special cases, within the framework of temporary agency work. However, as far as the requirements of equal treatment are concerned, the joint application of the two types of employment highlights problematic situations, which may also occur in other fields of temporary agency work or employment in general. The purpose of this study is to reveal the aforesaid problems and inequalities, and to provide suggestions regarding the elimination thereof, with due consideration of EU directives.
