Under the influence of a number of economic, technological and demographic drivers, platform employment has radically increased in the world over the past decade. The regulation of platform employment is an important issue concerning the labor market as a whole and its individual actors. Currently, regulation is provided by the platforms themselves. Such forms of regulation can lead to unfair competition between platforms, the problem of confidentiality of personal data, information asymmetry. Despite the potential of digital labor platforms in terms of providing new employment opportunities, the elements of precarious employment with the development of platforms are expanding their penetration into the sphere of labor relations. Thus, improving the quality of working life will require government intervention and labor compliance. It is necessary to create legal norms that provide basic protection for workers, transparency and equal conditions for all participants in platform employment. This is recognized by both labor market experts, labor unions, and politicians. The article analyzes the international experience in regulating digital labor platforms. The necessity of regulation of platform employment is substantiated. A number of practical recommendations relevant to the Russian Federation have been made, problem fields have been identified that require further research.

Introduction: the emergence of such freelancing as remote labor meant the beginning of the process of the flexible virtual law formation. “Cloud computing” is coming into life. There appear the concepts of “working in the cloud” only in the virtual (digital) space, so the government program “Digital economy in the Russian Federation” of July 28, 2017, No. 1632-P adopted in the framework of the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of May 9, 2017 provided the need for the formation of a comprehensive legislative regulation of relations arising in connection with the digital economy development. At the same time, it is specifically noted that the labor market should be based on its requirements in order to create productive employment. Methods: the methodological framework for this study is the methods of scientific knowledge, among which the main ones are the methods of consistency, analysis and comparative law. Results: the paper is devoted to the existing problems of the legal regulation of digital technologies in labor relations for the expedient and empirical updating of many legal norms, from which in the future it will be possible to start, change and supplement it, adhering to a fundamental change in labor relations in order to develop non-standard and fruitful employment. Conclusions: as a result of the conducted research it is established that in the Russian Federation the labor legislation regulating the electronic legal employment relations is fragmented and does not contain all the elements of the legal regulation. There is a need for the legislation on archive business in electronic form, the widespread introduction of electronic employment contracts, which can serve as the basis for the electronic personnel records management. The labor legislation should contain the provisions on the equivalence of an electronic labor contract to a written form.

The article shows some problems of social and labour relations in entrepreneurship on the example of the payment of entrepreneurial labor in connection with the lack of the necessary methodological support of calculations of the complexity of this work. At that time according to article 132 “Remuneration of labor” of the Labor code of the Russian Federation of December 30, 2001 No. 197-FZ (in edition as of October 1, 2016) the salary of each worker depends on his qualification, complexity of the performed work, quantity and quality of the spent work and the maximum size is not limited. At the same time, any discrimination in setting and changing the conditions of remuneration is prohibited. This requirement of labour law should be respected with regard to the wages of employees of enterprises and organizations in any sphere and sector of the economy, including the economy of entrepreneurship, in view of employees engaged in entrepreneurial work. At the same time, entrepreneurial work has its own unique specificity, but in practice these specific wage conditions are not taken into account. Involuntarily, there is discrimination of entrepreneurial labor in the field of wages due to the lack of necessary methodological recommendations to address this problem. First of all, there is a lack of methodological approaches to determine the complexity of entrepreneurial labor, taking into account such important fundamental signs of its complexity as uncertainty, risks and competition.

Legal Technology

The quality of legal and technical elaboration of amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, approved by the all-Russian vote on July 1, 2020, does not correspond to the level of the Basic Law. Oddly enough, the constitutional legislator ignored a number of basic technical means, rules and methods of legal technique. Thus, the constitutional amendments were drafted without taking into account the requirements of the structural organization of the legal act, namely: many new norms were included in inappropriate articles, the transitional provision on "resetting the deadlines" was duplicated in the main text of the Constitution. The authors of the amendments abandoned criteria of efficiency and compactness of legislative norms, having included an identical set of restrictions in nine articles of the Constitution in relation to various categories of officials. The text does not meet the requirement for uniformity of legal regulation, legal structures, the unity, simplicity and brevity of terminology: the scope of constitutional restrictions for various categories of officials differs somewhat without any objective reasons; there is no uniformity in the issue of the possibility of establishing additional requirements for officials by laws, “bifurcation” of the titles for senators (who in Chapter 9 of the Constitution are still referred to as members of the Federation Council). Insufficient attention to the requirement of consistency of legal norms has led to the creation of a new contradiction between Art. 71 and 72 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. Amendments also have a number of other legal and technical defects. Such serious and numerous defects in the legal technique of amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation became a natural result of a steady decline in the quality of federal legislation that has lasted for a long time. Constitutional amendments clearly demonstrate an insufficient level of legal culture in our country, which sharply raises the question of a radical improvement in the quality of legal technology, and legislative technology in particular.

Audit Services Market

The article examines the state of the audit services market in Russia over the past three years. The author highlights the most important and relevant problems, such as dumping, the unattractive nature of the profession itself, the insufficient level of quality of service provision, and a decrease in income. The work reflects the factors that have the greatest impact on the activities of audit organizations, examines the possibilities for solving existing problems, and proposes measures to improve regulation in this area. In Russia, the market for audit services tends to enlarge its participants. Small companies face a choice when they must either join big enterprises or leave the market. The number of audit organizations and certified auditors is constantly declining. Since organizations limit their audit costs, audit companies reduce the cost of services they provide to retain their clients or acquire new ones. Currently, such price dumping is becoming large-scale. Another problem is the decline in the prestige of the profession. The lack of prospects in this area directly affects the decrease in the number of qualified specialists in the audit services market. Low demand for services has the greatest impact on audit organizations and individual auditors.
