The Impact

In the process of achieving Sustainable Development Goals by Ukraine and building Industry 4.0 here, which is accompanied by a global digital transformation (digitalization) of all public spheres of activity, such a multifunctional and multidimensional phenomenon as corruption is now a serious threat to all public relations, among which labor relations are no exception. It causes a decrease in the level of labor productivity of active employers due to manifestations of stigma, mobbing, bullying, primarily in relation to employees who expose corruption, etc. The purpose of the study is to clarify the content of one of the main elements of compliance in labor relations – anti-corruption compliance – using a synergetic approach characterized by a combination of labor law and labor economics, as well as to highlight the problems of regulating these relations and develop proposals for improving the current anti-corruption legislation in the field of labor in the light of digitalization of Ukraine and achieving sustainable development herein. The object of the study is the labor relations to ensure and support anti-corruption compliance at enterprises and the system of anti-corruption legislation, including in the field of labor, in Ukraine and abroad, which regulates these relations. The main methodological approach to the study of the chosen topic is synergetic, characterized by a combination of labor law and labor economics. The results of the study in the most generalized form justify the lack of certainty and little investigation of the legal and economic nature of such categories as "compliance" and "anti-corruption compliance", which have not yet become generally accepted for the conceptual apparatus of labor economics and, to a greater extent, labor legislation. Based on the theory of labor legislation and labor economics, the article describes anti-corruption compliance in labor relations as a condition of labor and a condition of an employment contract. The problematic issues of the implementation and regulation of labor relations in the field of anti-corruption compliance are identified: a low level of positive perception of the implementation of anti-corruption compliance policy in labor relations by the management of active enterprises; the existence of negative stereotypes in relation to employees who expose corruption; the lack of a clear methodology for measuring the level of digitalization of state processes today, which hinders the study of the impact of digitalization on strengthening the anti-corruption fight. In order to solve these problematic issues, it is proposed to supplement section X "Labor discipline" of the Labor Code of Ukraine, which regulates the internal labor regulations at an enterprise, institution or organization, with norms on new labor rights and obligations of the parties to labor relations that are directly related to combating corruption.

The Impact

The author analyzes the impact of the draft law «On Labor» on the further precarization of Ukrainian workers and compliance with the terms of the Association Agreement with the European Union regarding labor rights. It’s determined that the provisions of the draft law «On Labor» are a reflection of the distortion of the principles of labor law through the continuous deregulation of labor relations. From one of the most humanistic branches of law, labor law in Ukraine may soon become an operational normative tool for squeezing value added from workers without meeting even the minimum social standards. The draft law «On Labor» is an attempt to partially enshrine the illegal rules that have actually developed in the labor market and which will not have a serious impact on the practice of using hired labor. However, instead of strengthening control over the implementation of current labor legislation and ensuring effective justice in the labor sphere, the domestic government pursues a policy of further precarization of the population through the formal consolidation of unfavorable rules for workers in labor relations. The content of the draft law «On Labor» is directly opposite to the requirements of the Association Agreement, which require strengthening the level of legal protection of the rights and interests of workers. The adoption of the draft law «On Labor» creates serious risks of increasing the precarization of the Ukrainian population and slowing down the European integration process

Definition Of

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.

The article analyzes system-related contradictions inherent to the development of the Russian labor law branch in XIX—XX. By means of historical-legal, comparative, dialectic methods the author investigates the roots of modern problems in law-making and law enforcement in legal regulation of hired labor relations. The author reveals negative factors in the development of the labor legislation, that are common for Russia and world leading countries. Among main evolutional problems in labor law, the author considers excessive centralization, a high degree of the right enforcement formalization, susceptibility of the branch to political environment, an important role of non-legal regulators of labor relations, low development level of security arrangements for labor rights, inadequate government supervision, a division of employees and employers’ interests, that is not always correct. The author draws the conclusion about the implicit, objective nature of the described defects and notes an essential impossibility to overcome them.

Abuse Of Law

The article studies the problem of abuse of law in the context of the implementation of labor law. In this context, the abuse of labor rights should be understood as a special type of legal behavior consisting in the exercise by subjects of labor relations of their rights in an inappropriate way, that contradicts the purpose and principles of the branch of labor law, as a result of which legitimate interests are ignored and other subject of labor relations can be harmed. The concept of "abuse of rights" is closely linked to the principle of integrity. In exercising their rights and performing their duties, the subjects of the employment relationship must act in good faith. The principle of good faith in labor law should characterize the aspirations of the subjects in a proper and honest manner to exercise the granted labor rights and to fulfill their obligations. Specific forms of abuse of rights by employees are: 1) concealment of temporary disability; late notification of temporary disability at the time of dismissal; 2) concealing information about pregnancy; 3) concealing the fact of disability; 4) deliberate task of material harm to the employer by unfair acts - termination of the employment contract at will, and then appeal of dismissal; 5) deliberate delay in obtaining a work book or settlement upon dismissal and the like. Employers resort to abuse of rights mainly in the following cases: 1) when dismissing an employee; 2) when fulfilling the duties of creating an employee the necessary conditions for performing the work function; 3) in case of repeated renegotiation of fixed-term employment contracts with an employee; 4) when giving an employee guarantees in case of termination of the employment contract stipulated by the labor legislation, etc. It is proved that one of the main directions of further improvement of labor legislation is the need to establish the principle of good faith and the inadmissibility of abuse of law as one of the branch in the science of labor law, which should apply to all subjects of labor and related relations - workers, employers, trade unions, associations of employers.

Problem setting. The Cabinet of Ministers’ submission to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine of the draft Law “On Labor” caused significant changes not only in the mechanism of regulation of social and labor relations, but also in the subject and system of labor law. By this, the liberal model of the economy is extended to relations in the sphere of labor, and labor itself is unreasonably regarded as a procedure for engaging in work on the basis of individual employment contracts. However, some of the legal mechanisms proposed in the project contradict international labor standards. Target of research. Based on the doctrine of the system of relations in the social-legal sphere and generally accepted legal codifications, it is necessary to research the mechanism of updating the labor legislation proposed by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. Object of research. Public relations in the sphere of labor and mechanism of systematization of labor legislation. Analysis of recent researches and publications. Issues related to the reform of labor law, which has been going on for many years, have been researched by leading scholars in the field of labor law. Among them are: Amelicheva L.P., Burak V.Y., Zhigalkin P.I., Pylypenko P.D., Prylypko S.M., Simorot Z.K., Silchenko S.O., Simutina Ya. V., Khutoryan N.M., Chanisheva G.I., Yaroshenko O.M. and many other scientists. In their works the substantive moments of the development of labor legislation are analyzed, but they do not affect radical innovations in the legislative activity of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. Article’s main body. The Cabinet of Ministers’ submission to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine of the bill (draft Law) “On Labor” (registration No. 2708 of 28.12.2019) introduces radical changes in the mechanism of regulation of social and labor relations. They require scientific reflection and the formation of approaches to solve the complex problems facing the labor law community. The article analyzes the processes and problems in the reform of the labor legislation. On the basis of researches of scientists-economists, lawyers of different specialties the author’s vision of the situation is formed; the most important problems that need to be solved at this stage of development of the social and labor sphere are singled out. The main shortcomings of the draft Law of Ukraine “On Labor” are indicated and the ways of their solution are overcome. Conclusions and prospects for the development. To the common factors of economic development (globalization, European integration processes) that influence the formation of the legal mechanism of regulation of relations, formed in recent years in Ukraine, were added such realities as the spread of non-standard forms of employment, liberalization of economic processes. If new forms of employment are objective realities that require awareness and appropriate legal regulation, then the implementation of the liberal model in the economy as a whole and in the regulation of social and labor relations in particular is subjective. It can worsen the human rights situation in the social and labor sphere. The process of reforming labor law must be consistent with the systematic nature of legal regulation and professionalism in the preparation of regulations. The Government’s draft Labor Law cannot be recognized as being in accordance with the above requirements.

Goal. The purpose of this work is to analyze the norms of the current labor legislation regarding the regulation of the relations between the employee and the employer in the introduction of any restrictions and anti-epidemic measures in the conditions of national quarantine and prevention in such conditions of violations of labor rights of employees. It is important that during the course of the COVID-19 coronary pandemic measures, they were not only effective but also violated human rights, including work. Method. The methodology includes a comprehensive analysis and generalization of available scientific and theoretical material, experience of foreign countries and formulation of relevant conclusions and recommendations. During the research the following methods of scientific knowledge were used: terminological, comparative, functional, system-structural, logical-normative. Results. During the research it was found that the Ukrainian legislature, including foreign experience, was able to respond promptly to the quarantine situation by adopting anti-crisis laws, which did not neglect labor legislation. This is understandable, because in connection with the announcement of quarantine in the whole territory of Ukraine, employers had to make personnel decisions, and the current legislative framework did not clearly regulate the issues that arose. Scientific novelty. The study found that the updating of labor legislation in the area of labor relations regulation during the national quarantine period allows the employer to use certain forms of labor organization, in which the basic labor rights and guarantees of employees can be preserved. Practical importance. The results of the study can be used in law-making and law enforcement activities, as well as by employers in regulating labor relations with employees during the quarantine period.

This article describes the periods of development of the legal institution of employment contract in Russia. The characteristic features for each of them are defined. The first period was the longest and was marked by develogment of the contract of personal employment as the origin of the modern institution of employment contract. In the second period, the contract of personal employment represented the institution of civil law, and later became the subject of study of the civil law science. At that time the industrial law of the country was forming. A distinctive feature of the third period was the adoption of codified acts, as well as differentiation in the legal regulation of labor relations of temporary and seasonal workers. The fourth period is characterized by changes in state-legal methods of economic management. With the adoption of the Constitution of the Russian Federation labor legislation was assigned to the joint jurisdiction of the Russian Federation and its subjects. It is concluded that the adoption of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation necessitates a more accurate study of the problems arising in the application of specific rules of law governing the peculiarities of labor of certain categories of workers (for example, labor relations with persons with disabilities are not yet perfect because of the youth of the labor law), conflict of laws issues arising in practice, contradictions that occur in a huge array of legal documents not only in labor law, but also in other branches of law.

A arte desenhada sobre papel simboliza os trabalhadores e as trabalhadoras, e suas constantes lutas sociais pela manutenção dos direitos trabalhistas no Brasil, conquistados na década de 1943, com a Consolidação das Leis Trabalhistas (CLT). Trata-se de um estatuto de Normas Regulamentadoras - NR de relações individuais e coletivas de trabalho para aqueles contratados formalmente com vínculo empregatício. Em 2017, o Governo aprova a Lei nº 13.467, reconhecida como Reforma Trabalhista, a qual exclui mais de cem artigos da CLT, reduz direitos e o papel do Estado em relação à proteção da dignidade do trabalhador. Posteriormente, a classe trabalhadora sofreu novo impacto em 2019, momento em que o Governo Federal promoveu a extinção do Ministério do Trabalho e Emprego (MTE), órgão responsável pela fiscalização e regulamentação das relações de trabalho no país. Isso gerou o fracionamento das atribuições das Leis de trabalho em três pastas ministeriais, fragilizando ainda mais as normas trabalhistas, dificultando a interlocução entre o trabalhador e empregadores e formalizando a precarização do trabalho. Nesse sentido, a imagem representa os desmontes que o trabalhador vem sofrendo, ao longo dos anos, em relação à legislação e aos direitos trabalhistas, mas também à saúde e à previdência social. A flexibilização das relações no ambiente laboral revela uma nova configuração do mundo do trabalho, uma realidade ainda mais perversa, pautada em um discurso neoliberalista de "menos direitos e mais liberdade para o trabalhador", porém, que carrega como consequências a redução do emprego digno, de saúde e segurança para os trabalhadores brasileiros. AbstractThe art drawn on paper symbolizes the workers and their constant social struggles for the maintenance of labor rights in Brazil, conquered in the 1943s by the Consolidation of Labor Laws (CLT). The CLT is a statute of the Regulatory Norms - NR about individual and collective labor relations for those formally hired with an employment relationship. In the year of 2017, the Government approved the Law 13.467 that implemented a Labor Reform, which excludes more than one hundred articles from CLT reducing many workers rights and the role of the State regarding the protection and dignity of the workers. Subsequently, the working class suffered a new impact in the year of 2019, when the Federal Government extinguished the Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE), the institution responsible to monitor and regulate labor relations in Brazil. This fact caused a division of the attributions of the Labor Laws into Three Ministerial Portfolios, further weakening labor standards making it more difficult for workers and employers to communicate with each other, formalizing precarious work. Thus, this image represents the problems workers has been suffering, over the years, due to the lack of labor rights, health and social security. The flexibilization of labor relations reveals a new configuration for the labor society and provides an even more perverse reality based on a neoliberalist discourse that propagates the idea of "less rights and more freedom for the workers", reducing decent employment, health and safety for Brazilian workers.Keywords: Labor Legislation; Occupational Health; Occupational Therapy; Precarious Employment; Work. ResumenEl arte dibujado en papel simboliza a los trabajadores masculinos y femeninos, y sus constantes luchas sociales para el mantenimiento de los derechos laborales en Brasil, logrados en la década de 1943, con la Consolidación de las Leyes Laborales (CLT).

The study of the legal personality of citizens recognized as legally incompetent by the court is timely and relevant in the light of the recent changes in the civil legislation of the Russian Federation, as well as the emerging trends in the development of judicial practice. In the doctrine of labor law, the legal personality of individuals is observed as an independent category of labor law, differing in this capacity from other related legal categories, in particular from civil legal capacity and legal capacity. At the same time, the labor legislation of the Russian Federation has made an unsuccessful attempt to receive the norms of civil legislation in relation to the employer — an individual who is recognized incapable by the court. At the moment, the Russian legislator with regard to the possibility of concluding an employment contract on the part of an employee recognized as legally incompetent took the position of “qualified silence”, which today can hardly be called successful for a number of reasons indicated in the proposed study. The study of the legal personality of citizens recognized as incapable makes it possible to assess the level of compliance of Russian legislation with international social and labor standards, determine the vectors for its further development and improvement in terms of optimal protection of human rights and citizenship. The main methods of the research were system and complex analysis of regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation and a number of other countries and international organizations; Comparative method, which made it possible to compare the international regulation of the participation of incompetent citizens in the work activity with Russian labor legislation, as well as the labor legislation of certain countries of the near and far abroad; Method of expert assessment, based on the analysis of court decisions and scientific publications on the participation of incapacitated persons in labor relations. The results of the study are both theoretical and practical, and suggest some directions for improving the labor legislation of the Russian Federation on the participation in labor relations of citizens recognized by the court as legally incompetent.
