The types of such leaves, their peculiarities and the procedure for granting individual labour legislation in the country are investigated. It has been established that workers with family responsibilities under both domestic and labour legislation of the post-Soviet countries are given social leave of both identical and different purposes and duration. It is concluded that the labour legislation of individual countries have identified categories of women for whom the duration of maternity leave is significantly increased or has its own characteristics. Such categories include women affected by the Chornobyl disaster, as well as those working in agriculture or in the area of ​​radioactive contamination. It is stated that the inclusion of such types of leaves as without salaries, in connection with the Chernobyl disaster and study holidays in social is justified in order to provide them - to ensure social goals. The author establishes that a Ukrainian employee has a restriction on the use of full-time leave of up to six months of continuous work at the last place of work. It is proposed to amend the current legislation on leave by adding a rule that allows, by agreement of the parties, to grant leave to the employee before the expiration of the six-month period. The article investigates that additional paid social leave for workers with family responsibilities is stipulated by the labour legislation of Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Moldova, but the duration of such leave in these countries is shorter than in our country. It is concluded that the current labour law of Ukraine, unlike other labour codes of the post-Soviet countries, more fully regulates the issue of granting social leave to employees with family responsibilities. Positive experience in regulating certain types of social leaves should be taken into account in the process of reforming national labour legislation, in particular, it is advisable to include educational leaves, leaves in connection with the Chernobyl disaster and leaves without keeping salaries for good personal and family reasons, because their purpose is to fulfill social goals.

The onset of the information society and the digital economy is a natural stage in the development of any state. Informatization of all spheres of social life actualizes the issues of research of already established social relations and their legal regulation, taking into account a new element — their digital support. Employment relationships, as well as social security relationships, are no exception in terms of digital penetration. Labor legislation and legislation on social security, being independent, are often implemented in a systemic relationship, since they are aimed at ensuring the quality of life of individuals. This relationship affects a variety of aspects: employment, the combination (balance) of work and family responsibilities, as well as private life and health care. This determines the potential for a comprehensive analysis of the labor and social rights of citizens in the context of digitalization. The importance of such studies is all the more obvious because, in the context of the spread of the new coronavirus infection, the restrictions imposed, including social distancing, made it impossible, for many, both to carry out work activities and to apply for and receive social benefits. The preservation of the quality of life of the population of this state largely depends on the extent to which the state’s reaction, expressed externally in the form of adopted regulatory legal acts, corresponds to the current situation and helps to solve emerging problems. This article, based on the comparative method of scientific research, shows the development of remote work in Russia and in foreign countries. The importance of information, information technologies and systems in the field of social security is analyzed. The spread of the new coronavirus infection has affected the whole world, and the experience of legal regulation, developed in states with different levels of development, can, taking into account its interpretation, be applied to a certain extent in Russian conditions. In addition, the article emphasizes that the law of any state should be oriented towards international standards in the relevant area.
