Stability of the legal regulation of concluding an employment contract between a private no-tary and a private notary's assistant

Abstract

The legal basis of the activity of the notary is the Constitution of Ukraine, which guarantees every citizen the right to work, which includes the opportunity to earn a living by work that he freely chooses or freely agrees to. The state creates conditions for the full exercise of the right to work by citizens, guarantees equal opportunities in choosing a profession and type of work, implements programs of vocational training, training and retraining of personnel in accordance with public needs. In turn, the labor legislation regulates the labor relations of employees of all enterprises, institutions, organizations, regardless of the form of ownership, type of activity and industry affiliation, as well as persons who work under an employment contract with natural persons, including private notaries.
 According to Art. 1 of the Law of Ukraine «On Notaries», a notary in Ukraine is a system of bodies and officials entrusted with the duty to certify rights, as well as facts of legal significance, and to perform other notarial actions provided for by this Law, with the aim of providing them of legal certainty.
 The performance of notarial acts in Ukraine is entrusted to notaries - these are natural persons authorized by the state who work in state notary offices, state notarial archives (state notaries) or engage in independent professional notarial activity, namely private notarial activity (private notaries).
 A private notary is a natural person authorized by the state, who carries out independent professional notarial activity, in particular, certifies rights, as well as facts of legal significance, and performs other notarial actions provided for by law, with the aim of giving them legal credibility. That is, a private notary is a person who is a citizen of Ukraine and has received a certificate of the right to engage in notarial activity, works in a private notary office and engages in private notarial practice. 
 In today's realities, it is quite difficult for a notary public to have time to do everything himself. Not only that the legislation of Ukraine has the property of changing quite quickly, but also the mass of powers with which the legislator generously grants the notary does not allow relaxation. So it turns out that it becomes practically impossible to carry out one's activities without an assistant. The selection of candidates and the hiring of a private notary's assistant is the exclusive right of the notary. An employment contract is concluded with the notary's assistant.
