CONTRACT AS THE REASON FOR THE CURRENT LABOR LEGISLATION OF POLICE IN UKRAINE

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the contract on service in the police as the basis for the emergence of labor relations of police officers. The article examines the norms of national legislation providing for the use of a contract as a basis for the emergence of labor relations, as well as scientific approaches to understanding the nature and characteristics of a contract. The definition of the “contract on service in the police” and the proposals for the improvement of national legislation in the field of service in the police are given.
 It is substantiated that the Labor Code of Ukraine stipulates in fact two grounds for the emergence of an employment relationship: an employment contract and a contract. Along with this it is proposed to highlight other reasons, namely the act of appointment; the act of election to office; the decision of the competition commission; a court decision on the conclusion of an employment contract; referral to work by a body authorized by the law at the expense of the established quota.
 It is stated that the scope of contracts is limited by the laws of Ukraine, that is, contracts can be concluded by employers only with those categories of employees that are clearly defined by law. Non-compliance with this rule is a ground for recognition in accordance with Art. 9 of the Labor Code invalid contractual working conditions, which worsen the position of the employee in comparison with the legislation of Ukraine. The thesis that the Labor Code of Ukraine primarily calls the contract a special form of employment contract, however, has been raised in the legal literature regarding this definition.
 The author makes arguments about the expediency of making changes to Art. 63 of the Law of Ukraine "On the National Police"
