Termination of the contract for service in the National Police of Ukraine

Abstract

The article examines the specifics of termination of the contract for service in the National Police of Ukraine. It is indicated that service in the National Police of Ukraine is an extremely specific and responsible type of labor activity. This presupposes the existence of a special legal regulation of labor relations of police officers, which establishes, in particular, the specifics of admission to police service and dismissal from it.

The purpose of the article is to provide proposals and recommendations for improving the theoretical provisions of labor law regarding the determination of the specifics of the termination of the contract for service in the National Police of Ukraine and the corresponding norms of general and special labor legislation. The tasks of the article are to study the points of view of scientists regarding the general principles of termination of the employment contract, as well as to reveal the specifics of the termination of the contract of service in the National Police of Ukraine.

It is noted that the contract, unlike an ordinary employment contract, can be terminated on the grounds provided for in it, in view of this, it is justified that the termination of the contract should be understood as the termination of the employment relationship on all the grounds provided for in the labor legislation and in the contract itself.
