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 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.

The article discusses some of the issues of the application of labor (employment) law to regulate labor relations in the gig economy of Ukraine. In recent years Ukraine occupied one of the first places in the world by its growth rate. A small part of those employed in it work as employees on the basis of employment contract, and the overwhelming majority as self-employed contractors or without formalized legal relations. At the same time, there are signs of labor relations in the work of the latter. Therefore, the issue of legal regulation of their work by labor law is of great practical and theoretical importance not only in Ukraine, but also in the European Union and other countries. The author paid some attention to studying the experience of the European Union on the regulation of labor relations in the gig economy. Here, judicial practice, the case law of the Court of Justice of the EU, as well as legal acts of the Parliament and Council of the EU. According the author, these documents pursue the goal of extending the labor law to workers of gig economy, who are in fact not self-employed, but employees. The person is qualified by EU law as employee if his independent is merely notion, thereby disguising an employment relationship. Among the legal documents of Ukraine regarding these issues first of all, it is necessary to name the draft law “On Amendment to Labor Code on Definition of Labor Relationships and signs of their Existence”. It introduces 7 signs of employment: if three of them are present – a person is presumed to be an employee. In general, this draft law contains progressive provisions. At the same time, the Law “On Promoting the Development of Digital Economy in Ukraine” is quite contradictory. So if the whole world tries to provide labor rights for gig workers who have no signs of self-employed independent contractor, this Law introduces the terms “gig-specialist” and “gig-contract” and takes them outside the labor law, qualifying them as civil law. At the same time this Law grants “gig-specialists” their own separate labor rights instead of others, including collective. Thus, regulation of labor relations in the gig economy of Ukraine needs improvement based on the study and application of the positive experience of EU legislation and jurisprudence.

Based on the analysis of the norms of general and special labor legislation of Ukraine, the author has researched the problem of legal regulation of one of the preventive measures of labor law – dismissal from work. The procedure of dismissal from work within the mechanism of legal regulation mainly performs a preventive function. The problem of dismissal from work in labor law has not been studied enough. A number of provisions regulating the relationship that has developed in case of dismissal are scattered across various regulatory acts. Some of those relationships are not regulated at all. Dismissal is often equated with the transfer, removal or displacement. In this case employees’ labor rights and guarantees are violated. It has been found out that the institution of dismissal from work at the present historical stage of development has its own characteristics of normative regulation. To date, neither labor law nor caselaw has agreed on a single generally accepted definition of the term of “dismissal from work”. Based on the study of scientific views of scholars and taking into account the analysis of the norms of general labor legislation, the main characteristics of the definition of “dismissal from work” have been identified. It has been found out that the definition of “dismissal from work” differs from “deprivation of office”; the author has studied the features of “dismissal from work”, types and social guarantees for employees at the time of dismissal. It has been noted that dismissal from work is atypical legal measure that employers apply to employees in some cases within labor law. It has temporary nature, it is intended to prevent the employee from work, it can be applied both through the fault of the employee and without the fault of the employee, it is usually free of charge. It has been emphasized that there is a need to develop and adopt a normative act, which should clearly define the cases of dismissal, its tasks and objectives, procedure and consequences of application. It is also necessary to enshrine guarantees of observance of employees’ rights at the time of dismissal in regulatory acts.

Probably the most common category of litigation in the field of labor law is the dispute over the reinstatement of employees. The existing case law shows that in most cases the courts defend the rights of employees, because in the course of the trial the facts of violations by the employer of the requirements of current legislation during the dismissal of the employee are established. In case of violation of labor legislation, restriction of labor rights of citizens, among other things, inevitably raises the question of bringing the perpetrators to justice and ensuring fair, equivalent compensation and damages in accordance with the European concept of an effective remedy. Thus, traditionally, the grounds and procedure for unilateral termination of employment at the initiative of the employer, including redundancies, dismissal for absenteeism, etc., are often subject to judicial appeal. Further development of labor law seems to be able and should be based on and generalization of judicial practice for resolving labor disputes, reflecting the most acute problems of observance of labor rights of citizens. The study of case law on individual labor disputes is an effective means of gaining knowledge about the current state of legal regulation of labor relations and especially the protection of labor rights of citizens, their typical violations, gaps and contradictions of substantive and procedural law governing these relations. The article analyzes the opinions of scientists on the definition of labor disputes and formulates its own definition. In addition, some issues of resolving individual labor disputes on the reinstatement of the employee were considered and the practice of courts to implement court decisions on this issue was analyzed. Certain features of resolving individual labor disputes on employee reinstatement are noted. Taking into account the special position of the labor dispute as a legal category and the analysis made in this article of the legal regulation of the consideration of individual labor disputes on reinstatement at work is relevant for the science of labor law and the practice of applying the current legislation.

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 article discusses some aspects of the digitalization impact on labor relations. It is concluded that the digital economy could not but affect the labor legislation, since it is economic relations and the nature of labor organization that largely determine the content and specific nature of labor legislation. It is noted that many scientific materials on this issue affect only certain aspects of the digitalization of labor relations. This is largely due to the fact that the digital economy development process in Russia began somewhat later, and therefore the first works appeared only at the beginning of XX century. However, there is already a reason to conduct a comprehensive study of the problem at the moment. The authors offer to start by highlighting some trends in the development of labor law that are caused by the digital economy. It seems that further work shall be carried out with the definition of trends to identify the risks of digital changes and develop the most optimal proposals for legislation. Based on the trend consideration results, their positive or negative impact on labor relations is noted. It is noted that digitalization opens up new opportunities for the organization of labor and employment, but it carries a huge number of threats to the stability of labor relations at the same time.

The article is devoted to the formulation of proposals to increase the level of regulatory support of legal regimes in the labor law of Ukraine at the level of state regulation. It is emphasized that the legal regime is a static and dynamic phenomenon of objective reality, which concentrates in its substantive system the legal remedies used at certain stages of legal regulation in order to effectively secure it. The legal regime influences the employee and the employer as participants of the labor process, their consciousness and behavior, as a result of which the parties of labor relations optimize the motivation for work, their work activity, modify it or even stop it. However, despite the important role of the legal regime in the further development of labor law, this issue continues to be poorly researched, which negatively affects the effectiveness of legal regimes. It is emphasized that the legal regime contributes to the creation and maintenance of a coherent system of regulatory influence, order, and, under the influence of appropriate means of legal regulation, functions to achieve the effective realization by individuals of their needs, subjective rights and interests and the fulfillment of their duties. Effectiveness of legal regulation is determined not only by a one-time result, but also by its stability, in this connection the legislator, forming, exercising the right, is obliged to take into account the adequacy of the chosen legal means for the stated purpose and task. It is proposed to amend the Code of Labor Laws, which will contribute to a more effective implementation of the legal regime in practice. In particular, supplement the Code of Labor Law with articles on the notion of the labor-law regime, the purpose and objectives of the regime in labor law, as well as the criteria for the effectiveness of legal regimes in labor law. As such criteria, it is proposed to emphasize the validity of the fixing and functioning of the legal regime in labor law, the timeliness and urgency of fixing and change, the abolition of the legal regime in labor law, the reality of the legal regime in labor law. The skillful and effective use of the legal remedies, the well-defined purpose of the legal policy and the introduction of the appropriate legal regime will contribute to the effective realization of the socio-economic rights and interests of the subjects of labor relations and to the solution of the tasks facing the state and society as a whole.

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.
