Positive experience of Germany regarding legal regulation of social protection of civil servants in modern conditions of information communications

Abstract

The article analyzes the specifics of the legal regulation of social protection of civil servants in Germany. The main laws of Germany in this area are given. The content and significance of the legislative provisions on the social protection of civil servants in the modern conditions of information communications are detailed. The positive aspects of the legal regulation of this area in comparison with the domestic experience are indicated. A list of proposals for borrowing such points from national social legislation has been formulated. This is, first of all, provision of their material and social needs, which arise in connection with the restrictions they experience in connection with the performance of tasks and functions of the state. In connection with the fact that a civil servant performs tasks and functions of the state in his official activities, the state must take responsibility for providing him with everything necessary. That is why the principle of retention, according to the German model, should become one of the key principles of public service. Remuneration of civil servants should become more progressive and take into account a wider range of aspects that affect the amount of wages. The importance of each of them for improving the legal regulation of social protection of civil servants in Ukraine is argued. Social protection of civil servants in Ukraine is only partially related to various social risks. The legislation of European states provides for a slightly narrower range of restrictions that civil servants are subject to, defines a slightly wider range of social guarantees, the issues of restrictions and social guarantees are better balanced, and most importantly - the legislation of other countries allows forming a correct understanding of the essence of social protection of civil servants, as a guarantee of their maintenance and maintenance of their families at an adequate level for civil servants to perform their duties professionally. This is the key difference in the legal regulation of social protection of civil servants in Ukraine and European countries, and it is this that must be changed first of all in the modern conditions of information communications and European integration of Ukraine for the further development of this institutionin our country.
