The topic of this paper is employment of public officials at primary schools.The procedure of employment within a primary school institution is a dynamic process, preceded by an emergence of a vacant job position or necessity for the opening of a new job position. Before the announcement of a job vacancy, a consent from Ministry of Science and Education for the job opening or employment of specific jobs is necessary, as well as reporting the necessity to the Governing Administration for the County, or, in our case, City Office for Education in Zagreb. The announcement is published on the notice board and web pages of Croatian Employment Service, and on notice board and web pages of the respective school. The job applications with the required documents are delivered directly or sent by official mailing service to the required school address. The Committee invites to assessment and evaluation all the candidates who fulfil the required conditions, according to announced specifications. Prior to hiring the best candidate, a consent from the School Board is needed. The best candidate signs the job contract, while the other candidates are informed of the choice as well as their rights to complain. Afterwards, the employee is asked to consent to all the necessary personal data processing procedures. When the work contract is signed the employee is registered to the Pension Insurance, Medical Insurance, and obtains credentials for web applications and registers (e-Matica, e-Dnevnik, The Registry of Public Employees in public sector, Human Resources Center of the City). The employee is also enrolled to the Registry of Employees, introduced to work organisation and work-related regulations. Working safety training sessions are also provided.
