Starting work and Employment which are correlative and interdependent are key subjects and important chapters of employment law. Although there have been some changes، reforms، and innovations regarding the issue in “Civil Service Management Act”، there are still some obscurities and insufficiencies. Introducing general principles of starting work، especially emphasizing on the principle of efficiency and being qualified، principle of equal opportunity، and clarifying and removing obscurities and insufficiencies are some of the positive changes related to starting work principle comparing to the previous version. Presenting new employment policy while emphasizing on permanent employment criterion for governmental positions، determining the conditions and requirements of different types of employment and employing human resources in administrative organizations، and decreasing the negative consequences of permanent employment، are some of the innovations and positive changes of the above said act. If some of the weak points and ambiguities in predicted regulations and rules are revised، a big change will surely occur in the employment system of Iran. However، obscurities and abridgments of the law، and especially not determining the status of previous rules has made the efforts of law makers open to criticisms.
