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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The problems of legislative regulation of compensation for moral damage caused to an employee in terms of labor liability of the employer are studied. It is established that the current labor legislation does not contain a clear and sufficient regulation of this issue, so compensation for moral damage under labor legislation is an urgent problem at this stage of development. Thus, the Labor Code of Ukraine does not contain the very concept of nonpecuniary damage, indications of any criteria that affect the amount of compensation, does not provide sectoral specifics of protection of employee rights, therefore, the law enforcer is forced to address many issues of the Civil Code . All this, in our opinion, creates gaps in labor law. Therefore, it is proposed to develop clear criteria for determining the presence or absence of moral suffering of the employee as a result of violation of his labor rights guaranteed by law. In addition, it is determined that in Ukraine to this day there are a number of obstacles to the formation of uniform judicial practice for resolving labor disputes. One of them, in our opinion, is the lack of clearly defined criteria for determining the amount of non-pecuniary damage. After analyzing the experience of foreign countries on compensation for moral damage to employees in labor law, and the experience of Ukraine on this issue, we propose to introduce into law a specific list of cases that cause non-pecuniary damage in labor law, as well as to establish a minimum amount of moral damage. when the court decision determines its size, which is not proportional to the losses incurred by the injured person. Also, we consider it expedient to create certain subdivisions in the courts that would deal exclusively with labor disputes. A positive application of this practice would be the ability to elect judges from these units from ordinary citizens involved in labor relations, following the example of France. Such a system helps to increase the level of trust of employees and employers in the court and the resolution of labor disputes, including cases of compensation for moral damage.

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.

This article examines the issues of differentiation of legislative and subordinate regulation of public relations. It is noted that in the process of law-making activities, including the legislative process, practical questions often arise about the competence of various state bodies to establish various legal norms and rules. These issues are related to the need to establish a clear legal meaning of the constitutional norms devoted to the definition of the subject of regulation of laws. In particular, there is a need to clarify the provisions of paragraph 3 of Article 61 of the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan in terms of the concepts "the most important public relations", "all other relations", "subsidiary legislation", as well as to establish the relationship between these concepts. Interpretation is also required by the provisions of p. 4 of Article 61 of the Constitution in terms of clarifying the question of whether the conclusion follows from mentioned provisions that all possible social relations in the Republic of Kazakhstan are subject to legal regulation, including those that are subject to other social and technical regulators (morality, national, business and professional traditions and customs, religion, standards, technical regulations, etc.). Answering the questions raised, the author emphasizes that the law and bylaws, as a rule, constitute a single system of legislation, performing the functions of primary and secondary acts. However, the secondary nature of subsidiary legislation does not mean that they regulate "unimportant" public relations. The law is essentially aimed at regulating all important social relations.

The sphere of social and labor rights has undergone a large-scale transformation due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictive measures. Almost all enterprises and organizations during the period of restrictive measures were forced to switch to a remote (remote) mode of operation. Some, and sometimes all, employees of organizations were forced to perform their labor function, stipulated by an employment contract, at home.At the same time, before the introduction of the above-mentioned forced measures and subsequent amendments to the labor legislation regarding the regulation of the work of “homeworkers”, there were no provisions in the domestic labor legislation that would allow establishing legal regulation of the emergence of this kind of relationship between an employee and an employer.In December 2020, the Federal Law “On Amendments to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation regarding the regulation of remote (remote) work and temporary transfer of an employee to remote (remote) work on the initiative of the employer in exceptional cases” was adopted.This article is devoted to a conceptual review of the amendments to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation adopted in 2020, aimed at establishing the regulation of remote (remote) work, as well as the procedure for temporary transfer of an employee to remote (remote) work on the initiative of the employer in strictly exceptional cases.
