Transformation of Russian labour law in the last decades shows the clear trend to differentiation and fragmentation with constantly growing number of special norms covering specific (atypical) types of employment relationships. At the same time modern labour law reflects only some of recently appearing forms of employment, such as temporary agency work or telework. The paper deals with the definition of labor relations and some atypical forms of employment.

On 2 January 2020, the Government of the Czech Republic submitted a bill to the Chamber of Deputies amending the Labor Code. The bill was sent to deputies as press 689/0 on 2 January 2020. The proposed amendment to the Labor Code was compiled by the Ministry of Labor and Social Aff airs of the Czech Republic, among other objectives, with the aim of achieving compliance with national legislation with EU regulations and case law. The proposed amendment to the Labor Code should explicitly regulate the conditions for the transfer of the employer's activities, and further specify the conditions for giving notice by an employee pursuant to Section 51a of the Labor Code when transferring rights and obligations from employment relationships. It is precisely in the issue of conditions for the transfer of the employer's activities that the current legal regulation has been repeatedly criticized due to insuffi cient use of EU legislation for the national legal regulation of the transfer of rights and obligations from labor relations.

EU Member States are obliged to protect all labourers who fall within the scope of EU labour law. The Member States are free, in principle, to extend the scope of protection by applying a worker concept which includes the economically dependent self-employed. EU free movement principles restrict this freedom of the Member States to apply their own worker concepts. The ECJ makes this freedom almost illusory through a strict application of the subordination criterion for the definition of the concept of ‘worker’, as laid down in its Lawrie-Blum case law. If the ECJ would develop a positive and narrow definition of the concept of self-employed persons, then the Member States would retain the freedom which is necessary to extend adequate protection to the economically dependent self-employed, and to combat bogus self-employment. A few judgments of the ECJ contain materials for the development of such a definition of self-employed persons.

The constantly changing economic and social environment is of paramount importance to the environment of labour law regulation today given that the socio-economic definition of labour law can be considered on the basis of the current idea thereof. Adaptation to the changing environment requires that labour law regulations also adapt properly to the changes. As a result, we may encounter a number of new employment relationships today, which will generate additional problems to be resolved with regard to labour law.

The article analyzes the specifics of termination of labor relations. The author's definition of thislegal category is provided. The essence and importance of termination of labor relations are outlined,where it is established that it stipulates certain legal facts termination of legal relations between theemployer and the employee, which have arisen on the basis of the employment contract and wereformalized by it, as well as the legal consequence of the emergence and action of certain legal facts whichin the legal literature are called termination. It is clear that clarifying the concept under consideration, itis necessary to determine its separate components, such as "termination" and "labor relations. ". As forthe first component, it has less legal meaning than lexical content, and only in conjunction with thesecond component forms a separate legal category. In terminology dictionaries, termination is regardedas the action of the meaning of cease and desist, and the term "cease" is considered, in particular, how tocease to do something, to cease to happen, to remain without completion, to cease to exist, to refuse tocontinue, to put an end to any -Why; to achieve the rejection of something, the completion of something,the limit of something. It is determined that the essence of termination of employment is manifested in thefact that this category: implies, due to certain legal facts, the termination of legal relations between theemployer and the employee, which arose on the basis of an employment contract and were formalized byhim; is the legal consequence of the occurrence and action of certain legal facts, which are referred to aslawbreakers in legal literature. Accordingly, the legal connection between the employer and the employee regarding the object - work disappears, and the respective rights and obligations of the parties areterminated due to the reasons stipulated by the law. Termination of employment under any circumstancesmeans the termination of all rights and obligations of the subjects of employment relations, the conditionson which those relations were built, and always means the impossibility of maintaining the existing legalrelationship due to the absence of one or all elements of such relations. Such termination can be in threeways for the disappearance of the object of employment relations, the content of such relations, or for thesubjects of those relations. We consider it expedient and correct to use the concept of “termination ofemployment” in the draft Labor Code instead of the term “termination of employment contract” used inthe current labor legislation.

AbstractThe present article maps the explicit references to the rule of law in the jurisprudence of the ECtHR by examining the judgments of the Grand Chamber and the Plenary Court. On the basis of the structured analysis it seeks to identify the constitutive elements of the Court’s rule of law concept and contrast it with the author’s working definition and the position of other Council of Europe organs. The review of the case-law indicates that the Court primarily associates the rule of law with access to court, judicial safeguards, legality and democracy, and it follows a moderately thick definition of the concept including formal, procedural and some substantive elements. The rule of law references are predominantly ancillary arguments giving weight to other Convention-based considerations and it is not applied as a self-standing standard.

The Public Prosecutor's Office in Ukraine plays a major role in the protection of human rights and freedom, of general interests of the society and the country, and in the strengthening of law and order, thus facilitating the establishment and development of the democratic constitutional state. The effectiveness of performing the duties put onto the prosecution of Ukraine is directly dependent on the prosecutor's offices' employees that are empowered to fulfill their professional responsibilities. The legal status of an employee of a prosecutor's office is specified in the Law of Ukraine “On Public Prosecutor’s Office”. Although, some aspects of these employees' work activity are normalised in the general labor law. This expresses the principle of unity and differentiation of the legal regulation of prosecutor's office's employee's labor relations. This article researches theoretical approaches to the definition of the concepts "unity" and "differentiation". The unity of the legal regulation of labor relations is manifested in the legally established equality of all employees. Differentiation is not opposed to the principle of unity, but takes into account the characteristics of different categories of workers and working conditions to ensure equality. The relationship between the general labor law and the special law on the prosecutor's office regarding the adjustment of the labor rights of the employees of Ukraine's prosecutor's offices had been analysed. The key to effective legal regulation of labor rights of employees of the prosecutor's office of Ukraine is compliance with unity and differentiation. It had been determined that the differentiation of the legal regulation of prosecutor's office's employee's labor rights determines the mandatory and priority application of the special legislation norms. In turn, the unity of the legal regulation of prosecutor's office's employee's labor rights determines the subsidiary usage of labor legislation norms in cases of an employee's individual labor rights not being determined in the special law on Public Prosecutor's Office. Unification of labor law norms governing the labor activity of this category of workers will make it possible to achieve an optimal balance of unity and differentiation.
