Regulatory and legal regulation of the process of formation of administrative authorities and management in Subcarpathian Rus (Transcarpathia) in 1919–1926

It is indicated that the proper functioning of local executive power, the creation of an optimal system of local executive power bodies should ensure effective influence on the development of each region, especially the cross-border region. It is generally accepted that local bodies of executive power implement the functions of the state, which are close to the population. In Ukraine, a new people-centered model of activity of public administration subjects is being formed. The article examines the process of formation of administrative authorities and management in Subcarpathian Rus (Transcarpathia) during the first half of the 20s of the 20th century. It was established that the process of forming the structure of state administration in Subcarpathia began already at the beginning of 1919, and in the summer of the same year, several projects of the organization of government in the region were already developed in Prague. On the basis of the General Statute, the model of relations within the local government between the Directory, the administrator and the military leadership during 1919-1920 was analyzed. The formation of abstract departments at the Civil Administration, which was headed by an administrator, is briefly described. The importance of the changes introduced by the government decree No. 356/1920 «On amending the General Statute of Subcarpathian Rus» was revealed, according to which the functions and powers were radically redistributed in favor of the bodies that represented the central government in the region. The theory of the creation of two branches of administrative management in relation to the competence of the Civil Administration of Subcarpathian Rus is presented: autonomous institutions and institutions of the state. The description of the gubernatorial council as an advisory body under the governor is provided. It was noted that the new General Statute, in terms of the norms governing the activities of the vice-governor and the gubernatorial council, went beyond the Constitution of the Czechoslovak Republic. It is proved that the administrative reorganization in Czechoslovakia in 1925 and especially in 1927 only distanced Subcarpathian Rus from real autonomy, since the process of further centralization and unification of power and administration took place throughout the territory of the republic. Appropriate conclusions have been drawn regarding the retention and gradual incorporation (integration) of the region into the all-Czechoslovak legal system.

Features of the types of control on the performance of electronic procedures in the activities of public administration entities

The scientific article highlights the essence of the types of control over the implementation of electronic procedures in the activities of public administration bodies, namely: parliamentary control; from the representative of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on human rights; from the central bodies of executive power. The author substantiates the expediency of improving the legal regulation of the procedure for holding a preliminary meeting before the trial of the case. In particular, it is considered expedient to establish the terms of holding a preparatory meeting from the moment of receipt of an administrative claim, as well as to determine the cases when reconciliation of the parties is not allowed. It was established that the control carried out by local executive bodies has a much smaller scope, but is the closest to the controlled objects. The control powers of the said bodies within the scope of control over the provision of electronic services are enshrined in the Law of Ukraine «On Local State Administrations» (Clause 9 of Article 16). Part 1 of Article 28 of this law stipulates that in order to exercise the powers granted, local state administrations have the right, in particular, to conduct inspections of the state of compliance with the Constitution of Ukraine and the laws of Ukraine, other legislative acts by local self­government bodies. It was concluded that regional state administrations, within the limits of their powers, direct the activities of district state administrations and exercise control over their activities. Local state administrations control the implementation of the powers granted by law to the executive bodies of village, settlement and city councils by their executive bodies and village, settlement and city heads. It has been established that control over the exercise of delegated powers of executive bodies by local self-government bodies is entrusted to the relevant local state administrations, and in cases provided for by law, to ministries and other central bodies of executive power, their territorial bodies. Control is carried out by analyzing acts of local self-government bodies, providing local self-government bodies with information on the implementation of delegated powers of executive bodies, conducting inspections of the activities of executive bodies of village, settlement, and city councils. In addition, local executive bodies can create structural subdivisions to perform control functions.

Factors Determining the Greater Participation of Women in Local Government Presidential Elections in Poland

The issue of women’s representation in the bodies of executive power in Polish local government is generating increasing interest in the context of women’s activity in local politics. The purpose of the publication is to explain the reasons affecting the low representation of women in local presidential elections. The author answers the question of the low representation of women in mayoral elections and examines whether existing stereotypes about the role of women in society are the main barrier affecting the decision to run in these local government elections. Are there also other reasons that hinder running for the city’s executive body? With the research questions posed in this way, the author aims not only to initiate a discussion on women’s participation in local government bodies, but also to determine the reasons for their underrepresentation and to identify effective methods of counteracting this phenomenon once the barriers are identified.

Functioning of the real property register in Ukraine during the period of marital status

Today, all information on real property rights and their encumbrances and restrictions is entered into a single register - the State Register of Real Property rights and their encumbrances. The Register of Rights will now include information not only about rights to buildings and structures, but also about rights to land plots. The article examines the process of State registration of rights to immovable property and continuous operation of the register during the period of martial law in Ukraine. One of the types of administrative process is the registration proceeding, which covers a wide range of social relations, the participants of which are, on the one hand, executive power bodies and their officials, and on the other hand, natural or legal entities. In the circle of these relations, a system of regulatory and legal acts is being built, detailing the registration procedural relations that were worked out during the writing of this scientific work. Having analyzed the peculiarities of the work of state bodies in war conditions, problems in the activity of the Register of Property Rights to immovable property and the connection between the high-quality work of the register and the protection of the owner's rights to his/her property have been identified. Since the economy of the state nowadays should work better than ever, this question is quite relevant. Today, unfortunately, there are circumstances that cannot be regulated at the state level, planned or minimized. Namely, "air alarms", "damage to energy systems", "damage to means of communication" and the unstable psychological state of the citizens. A number of changes that took place in the legislation over the last period in connection with the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine were described. The article will examine the mechanism of the Register of Real Property Rights in wartime conditions, identify the weak points of the system, and suggest possible ways of improvement

Legal regulation of labor relations in the field of labor protection supervision and control

In the field of labor law, the legal regulation of labor relations in the field of labor protection is investigated, the corresponding measures of supervision and control are characterized, which, in addition to measures for violations of the requirements of labor protection legislation, provide for measures for their prevention and prevention. It is emphasized that state management of labor protection is carried out by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, the central body of executive power that implements state policy in the field of labor protection, ministries and other central bodies of executive power, the Council of Ministers of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, local state administrations and local self-government bodies. It is noted that the powers in the field of labor protection of associations, corporations, concerns and other associations are determined by their charters or agreements between the enterprises that formed the association. In order to perform the functions delegated by the association, labor protection services are created in their apparatuses. The theoretical provisions are substantiated and practical recommendations are developed for improving the legal regulation of labor relations in the field of labor protection based on analysis methods and a systemic approach to generalization for evaluating the effectiveness of state management mechanisms in the field of labor protection. In addition, general scientific and empirical methods and tools of the science of labor law, methods of analysis and synthesis, comparison, summary and grouping were used. It was concluded that legal regulation in the field of occupational health and safety is a multilevel and complex functional mechanism, which at all levels of executive power controls and coordinates compliance with occupational health and safety at enterprises, institutions, and organizations regardless of their ownership, types of activity, and branch affiliation. It is emphasized that the existing system of state supervision and control over labor protection in Ukraine needs to be improved and brought into compliance with European standards.

Informational and legal characteristics of the main components of the state security sector

The article is devoted to the study of the informational and legal characteristics of the main components of the national security sector of the state. It is noted that the category “national security” reflects the qualitative state of the regulation of social relations in the state and emphasizes the fact that the security of the state consists in ensuring national identification. It has been established that the provision of state security is structured through the differentiation of national security by sector-specific (includes: military security, public security, state security, cyber security, foreign policy security, environmental security, information security) and subject characteristics (includes the activities of authorized subjects). The concept of “state security sector” is defined as a set of legal relations, the content of which is the activity of authorized subjects to ensure national security as a whole, and in certain differentiated directions. Amendments to the Law of Ukraine “On National Security” are proposed.
 Attention is focused on the fact that the information and legal characteristics of the state security sector are an integral component of the national security of the state as a whole and its individual components. The importance of eliminating information threats has institutionalized a separate area of state security - information security. It was established that cyber security is an independent component of state security derived from information security, which emerged as a result of the development of digital technologies and the spread of the use of information and telecommunication systems for the purposes of information dissemination.
 The institutional system of ensuring information security is singled out, which is formed from a set of authorized subjects, which are grouped depending on their legal status and available powers in the field of information security as follows: 1) state bodies authorized to ensure national security; 2) bodies of executive power, which are empowered in the specified sphere of public relations; 3) law enforcement agencies; 4) auxiliary entities that can carry out separate activities aimed at ensuring information security.

ЗОВНІШНІ ТА ВНУТРІШНІ ЗАГРОЗИ ЕКОНОМІЧНІЙ БЕЗПЕЦІ УКРАЇНИ

The article examines the concepts of “economic securityˮ, “external threats to economic securityˮ, and “internal threats to economic securityˮ. Economic security is defined as the achievement of a state of the national economy that ensures economic development, effective control over the use of resources, and protection of economic interests at the international and domestic levels. The main functional components of economic security are defined as economic independence, sustainability and stability of the national economy, and the ability for self-development and progress. The components of economic security are considered in this study. These include internal economic security (demographic security; food security; raw material security; innovation and technological security; financial security; investment security; energy security; environmental security; information security; military security) and external economic security (export security; import security; security in the field of international capital movement; security in the process of international labour migration). The study encompassed the examination of economic security-related objects (state, separate territorial formations, citizens, enterprises, organisations, institutions, and entrepreneurs) and subjects (central and local bodies of executive power, state enterprises). The potential negative impact on national economic interests (state, society, individual), conditions and mechanisms for the implementation of external and internal factors of threats to economic security have been investigated. The principal external and internal factors that pose a threat to the economic security of Ukraine are identified. These factors are in a state of constant flux due to the evolution of the global economy, society and the national economy. A number of indicators have been proposed for the purpose of assessing the level of economic security of the state. These include key aspects such as the state of the national economy, the development of scientific and technological progress, the countering of external and internal threats, and foreign economic activity. A comprehensive assessment was conducted with respect to the degree of economic security currently prevailing in Ukraine. The assessment indicated a notable lack of efficiency within the economic realm and identified a series of risks that may potentially impede the growth of the national economy in the future. The primary means of ensuring Ukraineʼs economic security are proposed, namely a system of legal, organisational and economic measures designed to prevent external and internal economic threats.

DEVELOPMENT OF STATE POLICY MECHANISMS IN THE SPHERE OF DIGITALIZATION OF INNOVATIVE ACTIVITIES IN UKRAINE

The directions of the development of public management mechanisms in the field of digitalization in Ukraine from the standpoint of ensuring innovative activity have been determined. Among these directions, knowledge management, big data management, effective and balanced use of digital technologies, etc. are singled out. It has been established that there are several options for the development of public administration in the field of digitalization (centralized, decentralized, etc.). It was revealed that Ukraine is primarily characterized by centralized management. Evidence of this is the functioning Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, which is the central body of executive power in the relevant field. This authority sets the tone in the development of the national system of public administration at all its levels. At the same time, the work identifies the need to improve the concept of digital development of the public administration system in Ukraine.

Напрямки удосконалення взаємодії органів місцевого самоврядування з інститутами громадянського суспільства публічної влади в умовах війни в Україні

The need to establish effective interaction between civil society institutions and state authorities became urgent in martial law conditions. The article analyzes the main problems in interacting with local self-government and executive power bodies with the region’s public. The main directions for improving dialogue at the regional level to establish partnership relations in local self-government bodies and executive power bodies with the public have been determined. The work determined that recognizing the relationship between law and justice is part of the European legal tradition. A fundamental element of civil society is its independent, self-governing institutions, which, interacting with state institutions, perform an essential legitimating function within and in interaction with state institutions. It has been argued that civil society organizations guarantee the inviolability of citizens’ rights, give citizens confidence in their strength, and support citizens and government agencies that can stand up to the enemy. They act in their way and turn on a self-governing basis within the limits of the Constitution and laws of Ukraine. Especially relevant is civil society’s role in the period of full-scale war in Ukraine. In such a difficult period of our independence, every Ukrainian took an active part in public life, joining the joint victory over the enemy. The activity becomes an essential support for foreign volunteers. That is why the role of civil society is invaluable. In the context of determining effective mechanisms of formation and maintaining an appropriate level of security environment is emphasized the implementation of analytical activities to determine the strategic orientations of foreign and internal policy of the state, timely detection of military threats, including potential, raising the standard of living of the population and the legal culture of society. One of the priority tasks of the interaction of the mentioned subjects is the formation and implementation of compatible measures to maintain national security by forming an appropriate level of security environment in the state and effective implementation of law enforcement activities. Keywords: civil society institutions, state, public authorities, armed aggression, public organizations.

To the question of the general characteristics of the tasks of the Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine

The article is devoted to issues of the general characteristics of the tasks of the BES as a leading body for the protection of the national economy. It is emphasized that in conditions of pressure on the domestic economic sector, the issue of effective protection against external and internal irritants is acute. The importance of active participation of all subjects of ensuring the economic security of the state in these processes is noted. A special place, given its current situation, is given to the BES, and attention is focused on the critical importance of the results of the institution's work. Based on such considerations, it is assumed and an attempt is made to substantiate the expediency of the analysis of the tasks of the institution at the current stage.
 For the completeness and comprehensiveness of the research, general approaches to understanding the content of the definition of «task» are developed, its features are clarified and compared with the philosophy of the institution's work. On the basis of this, a collective point of view was revealed that corresponds to the nature of the functioning of the specified central body of executive power. The proposed author's vision of the concept of «the task of the BES».
 Taking into account the legal provisions, the tasks of the institution are highlighted. It has been established that such tasks should be positioned as main, given the existence of «derivative» positions in regulatory and legal acts and other (accompanying) documents.
 All of the key tasks of the institution, provided for in Part 4 of the Law «On the Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine» dated January 28, 2021 No. 1150-IX, have been characterized. Their importance was assessed, positive aspects were determined, problematic aspects were identified that require proper and prompt elimination, etc. The need for mandatory fulfillment of all such positions has been established, given the interrelationship of the latter and the existence of public demand regarding the institution's effectiveness. The exceptional acuteness of some tasks, in the context of the existence of complex challenges of the present and foreseeable future, is emphasized.

Administrative and legal status of the National Health Service of Ukraine

The article examines the peculiarities and prerequisites of the formation of the administrative and legal status of the National Health Service of Ukraine as a central body of executive power. It is argued that the administrative-legal status of the National Health Service of Ukraine is determined by the norms of administrative legislation, the tasks and competence of the National Health Service of Ukraine regarding the implementation of state policy in the field of state financial guarantees of medical care and performance of the functions of the customer of medical services. The article defines that the administrative and legal status of the National Health Service of Ukraine is characterized by such criteria as: 1) normative basis of activity; 2) structure; 3) tasks of the service; 4) functions; 5) competence. The basis of legal regulation of the activity of the National Health Service of Ukraine is the Constitution of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine "On State Financial Guarantees of Medical Services of the Population" dated 19.10.2017 and the Regulation on the National Health Service of Ukraine, approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated 27 December 2017 No. 1101. It is claimed that the powers of the National Health Service of Ukraine are separate powers entrusted to this institution within the scope of its tasks and activities. The administrative and economic aspects of the legal personality of the National Health Service as a structure that assumes, in addition to the organizational, economic functions of a single customer of medical services and medicines, are also considered. Therefore, both administrative and economic powers are concentrated in this body, which makes its legal position quite specific. The article emphasizes that the National Health Service of Ukraine is a body of state executive power with a special function of an independent public institution of administration, financing and control, which is integrated into a system and establishes uniform standards for the functioning of all health care institutions, acting as a customer of medical services on behalf of the state during the implementation of state guarantees of medical care.

Administrative and legal principles of the ministry of digital transformation of Ukraine

Introduction. Modern digitization is developing simultaneously along its three key vectors: information society; digital economic relations; e-government. Information processes in modern society encourage central bodies of executive power to update their own activities. The relevance is due to the fact that society's demand for digitization, the opening of national electronic resources and the introduction of electronic services are the main challenges for reforming the state digital policy. One of the rather important steps in the digitalization of society and the state was the creation of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine in 2019. The goal is to clarify the administrative and legal basis of the activity of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine. Methods. Theoretical and general scientific (analysis, synthesis, systematization), empirical method. Main results of the research. The article is devoted to a theoretical study of the peculiarities of the administrative and legal foundations of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine. It was determined that the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine has clearly defined goals, tasks and powers, and justified the implementation of public administration in the field of electronic governance. The tasks of the ministry are systematized according to key areas such as: tasks of state administration; public service tasks; task of stimulating entrepreneurship. The conclusions. The Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine is the central certification body in the field of electronic trust services. The development of broadband access to the Internet, telecommunications networks and the IT industry is also within the competence of the Ministry. Having analyzed the tasks and powers of the Ministry of Digital, the main among them are administrative and national ones, which form the main layer of its activity and ensure its essence.

Principles of the organization and activities of the state employment service

Introduction. The article provides a classification of the principles of activity of the State Employment Service as a special body of executive power. The category of general, special and special principles, which are the basic ideas of the functioning of the State Employment Service, is singled out. Summary of the main results of the study. The author notes that considering the principles of the State Employment Service is a key and extremely important aspect of its organization and functioning. It is emphasized that ensuring the compliance of the actions of the employment service with the established principles guarantees legal compliance in all cases related to the employment of citizens and contributes to the creation of a fair and effective system of employment support. It is noted that the principles by which the executive bodies work form a legal category that establishes the regulatory and legal basis for controlling the activities of the executive bodies in Ukraine. These principles define the standards and rules that govern the functioning of these bodies, establishing the framework and conditions under which they must act in accordance with the law. It was noted that the principles by which the State Employment Service works are divided into three groups: general, special and special. General principles constitute the basic principles of the functioning of most public bodies. Special principles reflect certain aspects of the activity of specific public authorities. The special principles of the State Employment Service take into account its unique mission and exclusive tasks in the field of ensuring employment of citizens. These principles determine the specificity of approaches and methods used to achieve employment goals. They take into account the individual needs of different social groups and contribute to the development and implementation of programs aimed at supporting and developing the labor market, providing citizens with opportunities for employment and professional growth Conclusions. It was concluded that for optimal and high-quality work of the State Employment Service, a clear system of principles enshrined in legislation is necessary, which will determine its structure and methods of activity. Among the principles of organization and activity of the State Employment Service, the principle of mentoring, the principle of innovation and adaptation, and the principle of social policy are singled out as special principles of the State Employment Service.

Должностное лицо органа дознания – органа исполнительной власти (уголовно-исполнительной системы) как носитель процессуальных полномочий

В статье рассматриваются процессуальные и организационные особенности деятельности органа дознания – органа исполнительной власти (уголовно-исполнительной системы) по производству дознания и осуществлению неотложных следственных действий. Данные вопросы связаны с тем, что уголовно-процессуальное законодательство (часть 1 статьи 40 Уголовно-процессуального кодекса Российской Федерации) наделило Федеральную службу исполнения наказаний, ее главные управления, управления, отделы в субъектах Российской Федерации, полномочиями органа дознания, но не определило, как именно ими будут осуществляться уголовно-процессуальные функции. Предметом статьи выступили нормы различных законодательных актов, регламентирующих обозначенную процессуальную деятельность, и научные труды ученых. Целью исследования является обоснование процедуры передачи полномочий органа дознания от органов уголовно-исполнительной системы (носителей процессуальных полномочий) к должностным лицам исправительных учреждений. Методологическую основу исследования составили методы анализа, абстрагирования, сравнения, обобщения, аналогии, а также сравнительно-правовой метод. В статье обозначен уголовно-процессуальный статус начальника органа дознания в уголовно-исполнительной системе, показана его специфика, отличие от компетенции начальника органа дознания, в подчинении которого имеются дознаватели. Представлен примерный вариант «Поручения о проверке сообщения о преступлении и подготовке документа с принятием процессуального решения в порядке, установленном пунктами 1, 2, 3 части 1 статьи 145 Уголовно-процессуального кодекса Российской Федерации». Это позволит организационно упорядочить данное направление деятельности, интенсифицировать рассмотрение сообщений о преступлениях, обеспечивая тем самым обоснованность принятия процессуальных решений, незыблемость прав и законных интересов граждан, лишенных свободы. The article discusses the procedural and organizational features of the activities of the body of inquiry - the body of executive power (penal system) for the production of inquiry and the implementation of urgent investigative actions. These issues are related to the fact that the criminal procedure legislation (Part 1 of Article 40 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation) endowed the Federal Service for the Execution of Punishments, its main departments, departments, departments in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, with the powers of the body of inquiry, but did not determine how they will carry out criminal procedural functions. The subject of the article was the norms of various legislative acts regulating the designated procedural activity, and the scientific works of scientists. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the procedure for transferring the powers of the body of inquiry from the bodies of the penitentiary system (bearers of procedural powers) to officials of correctional institutions. The methodological basis of the study was the methods of analysis, abstraction, comparison, generalization, analogy, as well as the comparative legal method. The article outlines the criminal procedural status of the head of the body of inquiry in the penitentiary system, shows its specificity, the difference from the competence of the head of the body of inquiry, in whose subordination there are interrogators. An exemplary version of the “Instruction to verify a report of a crime and prepare a document with the adoption of a procedural decision in the manner prescribed by paragraphs 1, 2, 3 of part 1 of Article 145 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation” is presented. This will make it possible to streamline this area of activity organizationally, intensify the consideration of reports of crimes, thereby ensuring the validity of the adoption of procedural decisions, the inviolability of the rights and legitimate interests of citizens deprived of their liberty.

Administrative status of modern subjects of the state security sector

The article is devoted to the study of the administrative status of modern subjects of the security sector in the context of the introduced legal regime of martial law. Legally recognized public institutions empowered in the national security sector were chosen as the object of the study. On the other hand, the administrative status of entities that are not empowered with authority (for example, natural persons - citizens) is uniform and can be specified, for example, at the level of ensuring individual rights of natural persons in the state security sector.
 It was determined that the specificity of public relations in the field of national security mediates the lack of the possibility of identifying the concepts «entity authorized in the security sector» and «entity of public administration». Subjects authorized in the security sector will include state authorities, regardless of whether they belong to legislative, judicial or executive bodies, as well as regardless of the functions they perform.
 The provisions of the Law of Ukraine «On National Security», which fix the list of subjects authorized in the security sector and the provisions of the relevant legislation, which regulate the status of each of these subjects, have been analyzed. The expediency of grouping subjects authorized in the state security sector depending on their legal status as follows: executive power bodies; military formations; state bodies of special purpose; intelligence agencies of Ukraine. It is noted that: the group of executive bodies is represented by the central bodies of executive power, which are given powers that can be interpreted as powers in the field of state security; the administrative status of executive authorities is regulated mainly by subordinate legal acts; military formations as entities empowered in the security sector of the state are part of the structure of specific central bodies of executive power; the administrative status of military formations is regulated at the legislative level; special purpose state bodies are united by the fact that they are state bodies endowed with exclusive competence; intelligence agencies are not subject to expansion, and their administrative status is regulated at the legislative level of a profile nature.

Decent pay for work as one of the important factors of material encouragement of civil servants

The article is devoted to the issue of remuneration of civil servants as one of the important factors of their material encouragement in civil service. The importance of the civil service, the main task of which is to effectively ensure the complex interrelated activities of employees aimed at the development and implementation of state policy and management decisions, the implementation of regulatory and service functions in the interests of society, is noted. It was noted that one of the strategic tasks is the reform of the civil service of Ukraine, one of the directions of which is the remuneration of civil servants. This is emphasized in the State Administration Reform Strategy of Ukraine for 2022-2025, approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine order dated July 21, 2021, one of the tasks of which is to carry out a comprehensive reform of the system of payment of civil servants. Therefore, taking into account modern challenges, new theoretical and practical approaches to solving problems related to remuneration, in particular the remuneration of civil servants as one of the important factors of their material stimulation in today's conditions, are proposed. A proposal was made, supporting other researchers in this field, in the process of reforming the remuneration of civil servants to regulate, firstly, the level of the salary of employees of the local, district, regional state administration or the central body of executive power in an equal amount, that is, it should be the same at all levels salary; secondly, additional incentive payments (allowances and bonuses) to civil servants; thirdly, means of motivating civil servants with additional social guarantees (for example, free annual preventive medical examination, sanatorium-resort treatment). It is noted that today the state is already taking certain steps in this direction. Thus, Prime Minister D. Shmyhal predicts the introduction of a new system of payment of civil servants from January 1, 2024. According to him, "the main goal of the civil service pay reform is justice and elimination of abuses. Changes in wages are aimed at reducing disparities and a fair approach to setting the wages of civil servants. The new system will strengthen the role of official salary and help eliminate abuses during the calculation of additional payments and bonuses.”

Administrative and legal regulation of public service in bodies of the executive power

In the paper, a study of the administrative and legal regulation of public service in the bodies of the executive power was carried out. On the basis of the conducted scientific research, the author came to the conclusion that the administrative and legal regulation of public service in the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine provides for the presence in its structure of political employees who are not subject to the provisions of the legislation on civil service, as well as the principles of professionalism, political neutrality and stability public service, as well as civil servants and employees of the patronage service. The latter ensure the activities of the members of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine (except for those who head the ministry) and are formally subordinated to the Secretariat of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, but in fact are subordinated only to the person whose activity they ensure. The administrative and legal regulation of public service in ministries and local executive bodies provides for the presence in their structure of both political and state and patronage employees, who are managed by the state secretary of the ministry (or the head of the staff of the local state administration), in other central bodies of executive power and territorial subdivisions of ministries, other central bodies of the executive power, there are no political employees, and the management of the state service and strategic management of the relevant body is carried out by its head.
