Trends in the further development of the legal regulation of social protection of civil servants in the modern conditions of information communications and European integration of Ukraine

Abstract

The article analyzes the prospects for the development of legal regulation of social protection of civil servants in modern conditions of information communications and European integration of Ukraine. The prestige of the civil service is characterized by the availability of special guarantees of social protection for civil servants, enshrined in the Law of Ukraine "On Civil Service". The essence of social protection of civil servants is determined in comparison with the essence of social protection of other categories of employees, because civil servants are not a socially unprotected category of the population, but receive social protection from the state in connection with the specifics of their official activities. Based on the analysis of scientific literature, legislation of Ukraine, projects of normative legal acts, changes made to the Laws of Ukraine "On Civil Service", a list of trends in the further development of legal regulation in the specified area was formulated. At this stage, the trends in the further development of the legal regulation of social protection of civil servants in the modern conditions of information communications and European integration of Ukraine are: 1) the tendency to equalize the social protection of civil servants with the social protection of other citizens who are not subject to such restrictions related to their official activities ; 2) the tendency to separate the provisions regulating the social protection of civil servants of the Law of Ukraine "On Civil Service" dated 10.12.2015 No. 889-VIII from the provisions of the Labor Code of Ukraine; 3) the tendency to strengthen the targeting and monetization of social guarantees of civil servants; 4) the tendency to gradually cancel the guarantees of social protection of civil servants, which do not meet the requirements of the times. The content and meaning of each of them is detailed. The specifics of such trends are characterized. The content of the legal norms of social legislation in the specified area is disclosed.
