高校教师聘用合同“服务期”条款的合法性反思

Reflection on the Validity of the Term of “Service Period” in the Employment Contract of University Teachers

高校教师聘用合同"服务期"条款在实践中出现了无序化倾向和司法裁判尺度不统一的问题。聘用合同法律法规的滞后与笼统、"劳动特殊法优于一般法"的原则过于模糊等聘用合同制度不完善、法律法规不健全是高校教师聘用合同"服务期"条款实践合法性不足的主要原因。无论从合法性,还是合理性的角度而言,均应当将聘用合同"服务期"条款纳入《劳动合同法》进行规制。高校教师聘用合同"服务期"条款至少在约定事由、约定期限和违约金额三方面应当满足《劳动合同法》第二十二条实体规则的要求。

In practice,the"service period"clauses of university teachers’ employment contract tend to be disordered and the scale of judicial judgment is not unified.The main reasons for the lack of legitimacy of the terms of"service period"in the employment contract of university teachers are the imperfection of the employment contract system and the imperfection of the laws and regulations,such as the lag and generality of the laws and regulations of the employment contract,the ambiguity of the principle that the special labor law is superior to the general law,and so on.Whether from the perspective of legitimacy or rationality,the"service period"clause of employment contract should be included in the labor contract law.The terms of"service period"in the employment contract of university teachers should meet the requirements of article 22 of the labor contract law at least in terms of the agreed reasons,the agreed period and the amount of default.
