The Regulation of Public Employee Promotion Rules and Controls in Libyan Labor Law: A Comparative Study

A Comparative Study

Abstract

In this research, we tackled the regulation of the promotion of public employees under the Libyan labor law. The study is divided into two sections: the first section discusses the definition, importance, and criteria of promotion, while the second section is dedicated to the legal barriers to promotion and the administrative and judicial oversight of promotion procedures. The research concluded with several findings and recommendations. The key findings include that promotion is considered a fundamental right for public employees throughout their careers. Employee promotions are governed by predefined standards and conditions set by the legislator, although there are obstacles to promotion. To protect individual rights from administrative abuse, the legislator has granted public employees the right to file an administrative grievance or legal challenge against promotion decisions that violate laws and regulations. The recommendations include urging the legislature to establish a modern and advanced legal system for promotions that aligns with the rapid developments in the field of administration. Additionally, it is advised that the Libyan legislator should make promotion an exclusive right for public employees, with the administration obligated to grant it whenever its conditions are met.
