Duration of annual basic leave for police officers serving in academic positions


Abstract

In Ukraine, a steady trend is observed whereby public authorities violate the guarantees of the rights of academic staff. Providing academic staff with annual basic leave with different durations depending on the type of higher education institution is one such violation. The research aims to substantiate the mandatory extension of the guarantee of the duration of annual basic leave for academic staff to police officers seconded to serve in higher education institutions. The key methods of scientific research are systematic and structural analysis, which were used to study and summarize scientific sources, as well as regulations which determine the status of a police officer seconded to a higher education institution; regulate the duration of annual basic leave for research and teaching staff seconded to higher education institutions with specific conditions of study while remaining in the police service. The position that the content of the rights of a seconded police officer should be determined primarily by the tasks and functions which the employee directly performs at the main place of work is substantiated. It is proved that the provision on the duration of annual basic leave established by the Law of Ukraine “On the National Police” applies to police officers serving in police bodies and units. Concerning police officers seconded to higher education institutions with specific training conditions and appointed to academic positions, the duration of annual basic leave should be set with due regard to state guarantees following the Laws of Ukraine “On Higher Education”, “On Education”, and “On Leaves”. The practical significance of the study is to substantiate the legal grounds for regulating the duration of annual basic leave for police officers seconded to state institutions (organisations).
