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 concept of “guarantee” is the subject of many scientific studies, and in various fields of law. But this is especially true of labor law, and above all, work on guarantees of labor rights of citizens. That is why a special place in the system of national labor law is occupied by the institution of guarantees and compensations. Unfortunately, the outdated Labor Code of Ukraine has significant problems with terminological uncertainty, as it contains neither a definition of guarantees nor a definition of compensation, in contrast to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, where Article 164 clearly defines that guarantees are funds. ways and conditions by which the exercise of rights granted to employees in the field of social and labor relations is ensured. And compensations are monetary payments established for the purpose of reimbursement to employees of the expenses connected with performance by them of labor or other duties provided by this Code and other federal laws. Therefore, we see it necessary to investigate and determine the purpose and indicate what functions are guaranteed by labor law in Ukraine. Analysis of recent research. Scientists approach the understanding of the essence and content of legal guarantees in different ways, among them E. Ametistov, V. Andriev, N. Bolotina, O. Valetska, S. Venediktov, S. Verlanov, M. Grekova, S. Ivanov, I. Kiselyov, N. Kokhan, E. Krasnov, M. Feskov, G. Chanisheva, and problems of the institute of remuneration – V. Bozhko, V. Zhernakov, M. Inshin, O. Protsevsky, S. Prilipko, O. Sytnitskaya, N. Khutoryan, O. Yaroshenko, I. Yatskevich and others. Target of research is to consider the issue of legal guarantees in labor law and highlight their functions. Article’s main body. The article considers the issue of assigning legal guarantees in labor law. The author’s definition of the functions of legal guarantees in labor law is given, it is indicated that these are the areas of influence on the realization of employees and employers of their labor rights and responsibilities, protection of rights and freedoms and their restoration in case of violation. It is proposed to distinguish four main functions of legal guarantees in labor law, including security, instrumental, creating a balance between the interests of the employee and the employer, providing stability to labor relations. The articles of the national security legislation which express the specified functions are analyzed. Conclusions and prospects for the development. In our opinion, the definition and understanding of the functions of legal guarantees in labor law is necessary for further scientific and theoretical study of the institution of guarantees in labor law, as well as for law enforcement. We are convinced that guarantees are an important and necessary tool for the realization of the declared rights and freedoms of citizens in the field of labor. That is why there is an urgent need to develop and consolidate at the legislative level the conceptual apparatus of the institution of guarantees.

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.

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.

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.

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.

One of the most important laws of the countries is the labor law whose the target society is made of a large number of people, i.e. workers and employers. There are laws and regulations in Egypt on the relation between the workers and the employers. There are also principles for protecting this group (workers) as the fundamental principles of work, all of which are intended to improve the workers' lives and to establish rules that will better serve the interests of workers. The main aim of the labor rights is to improve the socioeconomic status of workers and to provide more security and justice and also to establish a social order for this class of society. The present study is a descriptive-analytic research, which investigates jurisprudential-legal government supervision and interference in the relation between the worker and the employer in Egypt. The results indicate that the necessity of government involvement in worker-employer relations has two main reasons. These reasons include changing the nature of labor relations after the industrial revolution and changing the function of government in contemporary time. The complexity and transformation of various relationships, including labor relations, which justifies the need for the intervention of a superior power to support the weak party of this relationship.

THE LIMITS OF THE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY IN THE EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIPSummaryManagement authority, which is guaranteed for the employer under the employment relationship with respect to employees, is an essential (necessary) feature of the employment relationship, which very often determines the identity of this relationship, distinguishing it from other legal forms of employment, especially those of a civil nature. The employing entity’s management authority must first of all be identified with the employer’s powers to influence the employee’s actions within the scope of the performance of work (in the work process) and the employee’s corresponding obligations to the employing entity regarding the work he is to perform. Using these powers, the employer specifies the employee’s obligations for the performance of the job, in particular its type, method, the time and place in which it is to be done, as well as the order and organization of the work process. According to the literature on the subject, the employer’s main powers of management include prescriptive rights (the core of management authority), which allow him to specify the employee’s duties by issuing binding instructions to him; punitive (disciplinary) powers associated with the use of disciplinary penalties; regulatory (legislative) powers, primarily to establish the regulations and other acts determining working order (in particular work schedules, holiday timetables etc.); and distributive power (the allocation of prizes and awards). The object of this study is to characterize the limits to the employer’s management authority in the employment relationship. The author concentrates on the limits defined by applicable law, the employment contract, the clause of compliance with socio-economic purpose, and the rules of social coexistence, as well as custom. The analysis of the limits of the employer’s management authority shows the importance of this issue, both in theoretical and practical terms. The appropriate configuration of these limits may help to solve one of the fundamental problems of modern labor law, which is to harmonize its protective and organizational functions.
