Critical analysis of the manners of establishment and extension of employment relationships of employees in higher education of the Republic of Serbia

Abstract

This paper aims to inspect various problems that appear in regard to different ways of establishing employment relationships and executing employee selection in the Republic of Serbia's higher education system. It is especially important to stress the fact that in establishing an employment relationship in higher education there are prominent elements of public law that differentiate between this type of employment relationship and a standard employment relationship. When we also add that in the higher education system of Serbia, there are two organisational types of higher education institutions - academic and applied studies, it becomes evident that the subject of this article is important to the wider scientific community. Furthermore, in this article, the authors will analyse and point to certain legal and procedural shortcomings regarding the extension of an employment relationship of teachers who have met the conditions for an old-age pension.
