The access to employment in the public sector is laid down in the public sector employment law. Sec. 4 stipulates that civil servants have to be Austrian citizens if they are employed according to Sec. 42 (exercise of public authority and the responsibility for safeguarding the general interest of the State). Employments concerning other duties are open for Austrian citizens and for person having unrestricted access to the labour market.
