The Ethical Code of Civil Servants of the Republic of Kazakhstan stipulates that public service is an expression of special trust on the part of society and the state. Social stability, regional economic development, and the level of public trust in the government depend on the quality of civil servants' work. Therefore, protecting their rights and legitimate interests is one of the most important conditions for the development of a professional and sustainable government apparatus.
In 2025, following analyses and audits, the Department reinstated the rights of 350 civil servants, including:
- 82 individuals received reimbursement for travel expenses totaling over 1 million tenge;
- 5 individuals underwent a performance assessment, which allowed them to subsequently receive fair bonuses;
- 10 individuals received payments totaling approximately 300,000 tenge upon assignment of other government positions;
- 13 individuals had their seniority, which qualifies them for salary adjustments, recalculated;
- 218 individuals were granted time off for being unjustifiably called upon to work overtime, etc.
These figures are not just statistics, but a principled position aimed at protecting every civil servant.
The measures taken have enabled the restoration of civil servants' rights at the local level. Specifically, in the Naurzum District, the rights of two employees who had been denied a portion of their annual leave by management were restored; a chief specialist of one of the regional departments was paid for being called back to work without actually recalling him from leave; and 11 individuals in the city of Arkalyk were reimbursed for the remaining portion of their travel expenses, totaling over 400,000 tenge.
Experience shows that prompt responses to violations of labor and official rights strengthen civil servants' trust in the system and increase their motivation and accountability.
Ultimately, this directly impacts the quality of public administration and the level of services provided to the public.
