LEGAL REGULATION OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS IN THE REPUBLIC OF UZBEKISTAN: CONTEMPORARY PROBLEMS AND DEVELOPMENT TRENDS

In the context of the continuous modernization of the labor legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan, proper legal regulation of the termination of employment relationships is of particular importance. Termination of an employment contract is not merely the final stage of the employment relationship, but a legal, financial, and human intersection of the interests of both the employee and the employer. For this reason, the legislator seeks to detail the procedure, minimize the risks of disputes, and ensure the social protection of citizens. The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the current provisions of the Labor Code, examines the views of domestic scholars, considers international experience, and evaluates the practical application of legislation. Based on the analysis, practical ways to improve the mechanism of employment contract termination in Uzbekistan are proposed.
