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.

Drastic transformations of the social and labor sphere have led to the emergence of new health risks and sanitary and hygienic problems associated with unreliability of employment. A new socio-economic and psychological phenomenon “precarity” has emerged, which has aff ected the employment conditions of employees, so the description of the phenomenon “precarity” needs to be clarifi ed.The forms of labor employment that diff er from the typical model and worsen the employee’s situation are considered. The criteria based on which non-standard employment is considered unstable are given.Generalized types of unstable employment are identifi ed, the specifi city of which is determined by a combination of two factors: working time and the term of the contract. Unstable working conditions are possible not only in informal employment, but also in legal labor relations. Unreliability and instability of labor has an objective character and is a natural manifestation of the emerging economic and social order. The phenomenon of “precarity of employment” appears as a new determinant of the health of employees. The main feature when referring employment and labor relations to the phenomenon of “precarity” is their unreliability.Specifies the terms used: “precariat”; “precarious work”; precompact; the precariat. An essential characteristic of precarious employment is the violation of social and labor rights and lack of job security. A significant indicator of precarity is underemployment. Precarity induces the potential danger of dismissal of the employee and the resulting stress, psychosomatic disorders and pathological processes in the psyche.Precarious employment and related labor relations have become widespread. Many employees are deprived of social guarantees, including those related to labor safety, payment for holidays and temporary disability, and provision of preventive measures. Th is leads to a violation of the state of well-being, as well as the deterioration of individual and public health.

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.

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.

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.

The article is devoted to the problem of fulfillment of obligations of the employer who depends on the owner. The owner is not a subject of labor law. For these reason he is not responsible for the obligations of the employer to employees. In turn, the employer is not able to fulfill obligations in labor relations without providing the owner with the necessary funds. Emerging in the field of labor relations conflicts often get settled by restriction of the labor rights of the employees. Typical examples in this situation are used in this article. The authors have tried to develop recommendations to attract the owner to fulfill the obligations of the employer in labor relations.

Labor relations have always been defined as a source of not only increasing of well-being for all parties, but also as a source of the formation of social problematic situations. This was allowed in cases when workers did not receive the level of income they expected and considered fair. In this case, the search for ways to protect the rights of workers, which is considered in the field of labor law, is relevant. The standard sources for the implementation of forms of protection in labor law are strikes and other forms of termination of the work process. The novelty of the paper is determined by the fact that in modern society the forms of protection of labor rights are mainly judicial forms, which guarantee that the employer cannot influence the settlement process by unofficially affecting employees. The article reveals aspects of the design of labor relations that could eliminate the negative impact on the labor process. Aspects of the formation of the branch of labor law are considered, which can provide the maximum number of decisions in the pretrial order. The practical significance of the paper is determined by the possibility of applying methods of solving collective labor disputes as a factor in the formation of the labor law industry with the formation of the principles of sustainable functioning and public control over business.

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.

The article analyzes the positions of experts in the field of labor law regarding the nature and types of hidden labor relations from the positions of positivism and the scientifically based concept of integrative law understanding. The author criticizes the conclusions of experts based on a positivist legal understanding according to which an employment relationship arises on the basis of the reclassification of a civil contract into an employment contract or a civil relationship into an employment relationship. Based on the analysis of labor law norms, law enforcement practice in labor disputes and scientific points of view of experts in the field of labor law, which is based on a scientifically based concept of integrative law understanding, the author comes to the conclusion that hidden labor relations are a type of labor relations, have signs of labor relations, are common in the judicial practice of labor disputes and are the most urgent problem of Russian labor law. The author analyzes two modern types of hidden labor relations from the position of a scientifically based concept of integrative law understanding: the conclusion of civil contracts instead of labor contracts and the actual admission of an employee to work by the employer or with the knowledge or on behalf of the employer or its authorized representative in the case when the labor contract was not properly executed, within three days and later after the actual admission of the employee to work. The author analyzes the ways of protection of labor rights and legal interests in the field of labor from the position of a scientifically grounded concept of integrative law understanding and formulates law-making proposals for changing the norms of labor law.

Sumário: Introdução. 1. A Tutela da Personalidade como Direito Fundamental. Conceito e Evolução no Ordenamento Jurídico Pátrio. 2. As Características dos Direitos da Personalidade no Código Civil de 2002. 3. Direitos da Personalidade Aplicados às Relações de Trabalho. Proteção e Indisponibilidade. Autonomia Privada e Ponderação de Valores nas Relações de Trabalho. Casuística. Considerações Finais. Referências. Resumo: A longa trajetória percorrida pelo Direito até o reconhecimento dos direitos da personalidade e sua elevação ao status de direitos fundamentais ajudam a compreender as matizes e os contornos do seu conjunto de valores. No ordenamento jurídico pátrio, os direitos da personalidade caracterizam-se pela indisponibilidade e pelo seu caráter absoluto, ainda que temperados pela necessária convivência com o direito fundamental à liberdade, do que a autonomia privada é uma de suas mais conhecidas facetas. É a partir de tal reconhecimento, e utilizando-se do método dedutivo e dialético, que o presente artigo busca explorar a aplicação dos direitos da personalidade ao contexto das relações de trabalho, no qual os mesmos adquirem contornos próprios, haja vista ser o Direito do Trabalho, no Brasil, fortemente calcado no princípio da proteção e da irrenunciabilidade,em especial. Todavia, por se tratarem os direitos da personalidade e do trabalho de direitos fundamentais, é natural que os mesmos estejam submetidos ao exercício de ponderação, sempre que entrarem em conflito com outros direitos de igual estatura constitucional-fundamental, conforme o caso concreto. É assim que a casuística fornece valiosos exemplos de situações em que os direitos da personalidade e do trabalho cedem espaço a outros direitos fundamentais, como a propriedade, sendo a autonomia privada e o respeito ao núcleo essencial da dignidade da pessoa humana, elementos imprescindíveis à sua legitimação.    Palavras-chave: Direitos da personalidade; Autonomia Privada; Direitos fundamentais; Ponderação; Relações de Trabalho. Abstract: The long journey travelled by the Law to the personality rights recognition and its elevation to fundamental rights status helps to understand the hues and contours of its set of values. In Brazilian legal system, the personality rights are characterized by its unavailability and absoluteness, albeit tempered by the necessary interaction with the fundamental right to freedom, of which private autonomy is one of its best-known facets. It is from this recognition, and using deductive and dialectical method, that this article aims to explore the application of personality rights to the context of labor relations, in which they acquire proper contours, having in mind that, in Brazil, the Labor Law is heavily based on the principle of protection and unavailability, specially. Nonetheless, considering that personality and labor rights are fundamental rights, it is natural that both are subjected to balancing test every time they collide with other fundamental-constitutional rights of same status, as the case. This is how casuistry gives us great examples of situations where personality and labor rights give way to other fundamental rights, such as propriety right, being the private autonomy and the respect to the essential core of the human dignity indispensable constituents to its legitimation.   Keywords: Personality Rights; Private Autonomy; Fundamental Rights; Balancing; Labor Relations.
