SÝKORA, Martin
The public service is adjusted by Act. No. 111/2006 Col., on Assistance in Material Need since 2009. It was established as a tool for activation and social inclusion. The public service means mainly auxiliary works for public benefit and free of charge. It is intended for long-term unemployed persons dependent on the social system. There was a change of Lows No. 111/2006 Col., on Assistance in Material Need and Act No. 435/2004 Col., on Employment in 2012. The change of law included also the transfer of administration of social benefits from the municipal authorities (delegated and with extended power) to the regional branch of the Labour Office of Czech Republic. At the same time there was also a transfer of public service, which settings was significantly changed. In November 2012, the Constitutional Court annulled the obligation to perform public service by reason of the violation of the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms. Currently, the public service is voluntary. The aim of the thesis is to compare the conception of public service before the reform of social system and after 1st January 2012. The comparison is made on the basis of experience with the implementation of public service at the Municipal Office in Český Krumlov. The practical purpose of this thesis is both to evaluate whether the public service benefits and the assessment of the positive and negative aspects of public service before and after social reform and also to outline possible solutions for its further development. The first part states reasons why the public service was established. There is a description of its focus and comparison with general public service, community service and volunteer service there. Further there are listed the differences between the conception of the public service before and after the social reform until November 2012. Differences were taken into account in terms of legislative, organization and the way of affecting assistance in material need. The second part of this thesis discusses the implementation of public service at the Municipal office of Český Krumlov before and after the social reform. There are Statistically processed and used data obtained from the Department of Health and Social Affairs of the Municipal office of Český Krumlov there.
