Abstract

The resolution of terminating the public employee service has serious impacts on his income, reputation and social status; therefore, the regulatory legislations of the public office in different countries comply with specifying the reasons for terminating the public employee service. Termination may take place by force of law as soon as specific reasons are set forth. Additionally, the administration does not have a discretionary authority with that regard, but termination could be carried out according to administrative decision issued by the administrative authority unilaterally. However, this does not mean that it has absolute power, but it performs power according to specific procedures and legal controls, for its part, in order to prevent any illegal practices.

Accordingly, since the resolutions of terminating an employee – whether by the force of law or according to an administrative decision – lead to serious impacts on his financial and psychological state, the legislator usually provides the guarantees that maintain justice and prevent abuse of power when these resolutions are issued.
