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"

The Public Prosecutor's Office in Ukraine plays a major role in the protection of human rights and freedom, of general interests of the society and the country, and in the strengthening of law and order, thus facilitating the establishment and development of the democratic constitutional state. The effectiveness of performing the duties put onto the prosecution of Ukraine is directly dependent on the prosecutor's offices' employees that are empowered to fulfill their professional responsibilities. The legal status of an employee of a prosecutor's office is specified in the Law of Ukraine “On Public Prosecutor’s Office”. Although, some aspects of these employees' work activity are normalised in the general labor law. This expresses the principle of unity and differentiation of the legal regulation of prosecutor's office's employee's labor relations. This article researches theoretical approaches to the definition of the concepts "unity" and "differentiation". The unity of the legal regulation of labor relations is manifested in the legally established equality of all employees. Differentiation is not opposed to the principle of unity, but takes into account the characteristics of different categories of workers and working conditions to ensure equality. The relationship between the general labor law and the special law on the prosecutor's office regarding the adjustment of the labor rights of the employees of Ukraine's prosecutor's offices had been analysed. The key to effective legal regulation of labor rights of employees of the prosecutor's office of Ukraine is compliance with unity and differentiation. It had been determined that the differentiation of the legal regulation of prosecutor's office's employee's labor rights determines the mandatory and priority application of the special legislation norms. In turn, the unity of the legal regulation of prosecutor's office's employee's labor rights determines the subsidiary usage of labor legislation norms in cases of an employee's individual labor rights not being determined in the special law on Public Prosecutor's Office. Unification of labor law norms governing the labor activity of this category of workers will make it possible to achieve an optimal balance of unity and differentiation.

The study of the issues of civil service reform in Ukraine in the current conditions of development of Ukrainian society and the state is an extremely relevant subject and requires appropriate research. The author aims to analyse the most resonant reform measures in the civil service, which were recently initiated by the government and received mixed reviews, in particular, the announced redundancy in the staff of civil servants and the introduction of a contract form of civil service, as well as to offer scientifically sound proposals for improvement of appropriate measures. In the work with the use of general scientific and special methods of scientific knowledge (dialectical, Aristotelian, comparative law, system analysis) the legal bases and scientific sources on redundancy of staff and contractual form of employment are considered; the provisions of the national labor legislation were compared with the provisions of the national legislation on the civil service, which provide for the rules of staffing cuts among civil servants, including guarantees of their rights upon dismissal on appropriate grounds; the provisions of the national legislation concerning the rules of application of contracts upon appointing civil servants are investigated. The conclusion is made: 1) on the need for appropriate revision of the Law of Ukraine "On Civil Service"; 2) on the expediency of creating new productive jobs in various sectors of the national economy, where redundant civil servants will be sent after retraining; 3) that any reforms of society and public administration must be carried out subsequent to an in-depth study of public opinion, analysis of possible negative consequences, development and implementation of compensatory mechanisms. It is emphasized that it is mandatory to involve scientists, experts-practitioners, employers, and representatives of public, in particular trade unions, in the process of developing reforms in civil service.

Measures of material and moral support of civil servants help to realize the correct understanding of their labor obovyazkiv, helps to increase labor activity and improve the performance of the state body. The article analyzes the views of scholars on the interpretation of such a legal category as "encouragement". The provisions of the Law of Ukraine "On Civil Service" and bylaws regulating the grounds, types and procedure for applying incentives to civil servants are analyzed. It is established that the following types of incentives can be applied to civil servants: 1) announcement of gratitude; 2) awarding a diploma, a diploma, other departmental awards of a state body; 3) early assignment of the rank of civil servant; 4) presentation for awarding by government honors and awarding with a government award (congratulatory letter, thanks, diploma); 5) submission for state awards. The author proposes to expand the existing list of types of incentives for civil servants with such incentives as rewarding with a valuable gift and paying a bonus. The article also draws attention to the imperfections of the legal regulation of the procedure for applying certain types of incentives in the civil service. The author's definition of the term "encouragement of a civil servant" is proposed. It is concluded that the incentives for civil servants play an important role in enhancing their professional activities and are aimed at forming in them a conscientious attitude to work. However, some issues in this area still need significant refinement at the legislative level.

The article analyzes the approaches to the civil service organization in Ukraine and examines the regulations of the civil service establishment since independence time. The attention is payed to the regulatory uncertainty of the separation of civil and public service in Ukraine. It is emphasized that the legal basis of the civil service in Ukraine is determined by the Law of Ukraine “On Civil Service”, which was adopted in 2015. The first such laws were adopted in 1993 and 2011. The Law of Ukraine “On Civil Service” of 1993 for the first time established a special legal status of civil servants – persons authorized to perform state functions. The Civil Service recognized the professional activity of persons holding positions in state bodies and their staff for the practical performance of tasks and functions of the state, receiving salaries at the expense of state funds. The Main Department of the Civil Service under the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine was designated as the civil service government body in the state bodies. At that time, the procedure for serving in local self-government bodies was not legally regulated in Ukraine, which hampered the establishment of the public service institution in Ukraine. With the adoption of the Constitution of Ukraine, there was a division of public service into civil service and service in local self-governments. The Laws of Ukraine “On Local Self-Government in Ukraine” and “On Service in Local Self-Government Bodies” became an additional basis for distinguishing types of public service. In 2011, a new Law of Ukraine “On Civil Service” was adopted, which provided for changes in the legal regulation of the civil service in Ukraine. Civil service was recognized as a professional activity of civil servants in preparing proposals for the civil policy formation, ensuring its implementation and provision of administrative services, ie the categories of political positions and positions of civil servants were distinguished. The current legislation defines the role of the civil service and its features, as well as the conditions of service in local governments, which is actually the basis for the public service system formation in Ukraine. Key words: civil service, public service, service in local self-government bodies.

The article analyzes the specifics of termination of labor relations. The author's definition of thislegal category is provided. The essence and importance of termination of labor relations are outlined,where it is established that it stipulates certain legal facts termination of legal relations between theemployer and the employee, which have arisen on the basis of the employment contract and wereformalized by it, as well as the legal consequence of the emergence and action of certain legal facts whichin the legal literature are called termination. It is clear that clarifying the concept under consideration, itis necessary to determine its separate components, such as "termination" and "labor relations. ". As forthe first component, it has less legal meaning than lexical content, and only in conjunction with thesecond component forms a separate legal category. In terminology dictionaries, termination is regardedas the action of the meaning of cease and desist, and the term "cease" is considered, in particular, how tocease to do something, to cease to happen, to remain without completion, to cease to exist, to refuse tocontinue, to put an end to any -Why; to achieve the rejection of something, the completion of something,the limit of something. It is determined that the essence of termination of employment is manifested in thefact that this category: implies, due to certain legal facts, the termination of legal relations between theemployer and the employee, which arose on the basis of an employment contract and were formalized byhim; is the legal consequence of the occurrence and action of certain legal facts, which are referred to aslawbreakers in legal literature. Accordingly, the legal connection between the employer and the employee regarding the object - work disappears, and the respective rights and obligations of the parties areterminated due to the reasons stipulated by the law. Termination of employment under any circumstancesmeans the termination of all rights and obligations of the subjects of employment relations, the conditionson which those relations were built, and always means the impossibility of maintaining the existing legalrelationship due to the absence of one or all elements of such relations. Such termination can be in threeways for the disappearance of the object of employment relations, the content of such relations, or for thesubjects of those relations. We consider it expedient and correct to use the concept of “termination ofemployment” in the draft Labor Code instead of the term “termination of employment contract” used inthe current labor legislation.

The article studies some aspects of improving the legal regulation of civil service in Ukraine. Domestic norms that provide for the application of restrictions on civil servants in accordance with the Law of Ukraine “On Purification of Government” were analyzed. Moreover, it was found that such restrictions violate a person’s right to respect for private life. The procedure for assessing the performance of civil servants was studied. It was substantiated that the application of dismissal of civil servants as a result of receiving a negative assessment after the performance appraisal does not meet the principles of individuality, objectivity and proportionality when deciding on dismissal and general norms concerning disciplinary liability of civil servants provided by the Law of Ukraine “About civil service”. The experience of legal regulation of civil service in Poland, Moldova and Germany was analyzed. It was determined that the improvement of domestic legal regulation of civil service in some part may occur through the borrowing of those peculiarities of civil service, which are found in the legislation of the abovementioned countries. For example, the experience of the Republic of Poland is useful for borrowing in terms of improving the performance appraisal of civil servants. Moldova’s experience shows the successful use of polygraph testing of civil servants. The German experience is useful for Ukraine in terms of training and retraining of civil servants. Proposals were presented to improve the legislation on the civil service, namely the application of reprimands, rather than dismissal due to a negative assessment of the results of the civil servant’s performance appraisal. It is suggested to amend the lustration legislation, which would provide for an individual approach to a person who will be lustrated if his guilt in making decisions, committing acts that contributed to the undemocratic regime of Viktor Yanukovych is proved.
