Content of the contract as a type of employment contract
Abstract
The current state of legal regulation of mandatory and additional terms of employment contracts and contracts in Ukraine has been studied and its shortcomings have been identified. It has been specified that a rather long legislative uncertainty regarding mandatory and additional terms of an employment contract and the current conflict of legislation on this issue have led to the existence of different positions in the science of labour law regarding the terms of an employment contract. Scientists’ views on the essence of the content of an employment contract have been analysed.
It has been proven that the terms of the employment contract should be considered the terms that are drawn up by its parties. Traditionally, such conditions in labor law are divided into mandatory and additional. The terms of the employment contract are recognized as mandatory, without which the content of the employment contract or contract cannot be considered concluded. Those without which the conclusion of an employment contract or contract is possible are considered additional.
Mandatory and additional terms of the contract have been defined. Mandatory terms of the contract are: place of work; labor function; the moment of the start of the work and the duration of the contract; rights and duties; terms and amount of remuneration; financial support of the employee; labor organization; responsibilities of the parties; terms of termination of the contract. Additional terms of the contract are: term and conditions of the trial; non-disclosure of commercial secrets and other legally protected information; frequency and duration of professional training, retraining and advanced training of the employee; improvement of working conditions, industrial life and recreation; medical and sanatorium provision; social and household benefits and social and cultural services. There is a well-founded need to supplement the Code of Labor Laws of Ukraine with Article 21-2 “Content of the employment contract and contract”, in which mandatory and additional conditions of the employment contract and contract shall be established.
