End of paper workbooks for civil servants from 2026

Digitalization of the civil service

By a decree of the Council of Ministers, the secondary legislation governing the civil service has been updated. The changes aim for full compliance with the new legal framework for introducing the unified electronic employment record, which will enter into force on June 1, 2026.

This step is part of a large-scale reform for the modernization of administrative services and the complete elimination of paper-based document flow.

What is changing in the regulations?

With the adopted act, key amendments are being made to several core documents:

• The Ordinance on Registration in the Employment Register;
• The Ordinance on the Official Status of Civil Servants;
• The Classifier of Positions in the Administration;
• The Ordinance on the Application of the Classifier.

The purpose of these adjustments is to ensure clarity, completeness, and consistency in the submission and entry of data regarding official employment relations into the Employment Register (ER), administered by the National Revenue Agency (NRA).

The transition to electronic records

It is important to note that the electronic employment register of the National Revenue Agency (NRA) has been accessible since June 1, 2025. Its introduction is a process aimed at the phased replacement of traditional paper employment record books with digital records, ensuring higher security and accessibility of information for employees.
