Clientelism seems to be one of the causes of unequal treatment in the case of living in society today. Unlike private power, in public decisions, which cannot be linked to executive devices, hence there is a separate temptation to move on their own financial goals, which are not used for devices. Additionally, clientelism has not been introduced in the laws on exemplary reasons for discrimination. It is not identical with the discrimination listed in the Labor Code for political directors as these are not always visible about establishing a client-patron connection. Modern political solutions are available, which are non ideological in nature, their purpose is exclusively and customer service, it is also not easy to implement, and an attempt in this direction is focused on specific criteria. The effect of applying protection to persons reported to it is to be in employee cases regarding compensation waiver of its diagnosis, and to stop at the state of unequal treatment without an objective reason for this.
