TRANSFER OF AN EMPLOYEE TO ANOTHER EMPLOYER AS A PREVENTIVE MEASURE IN THE FACE OF MODERN POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC CHALLENGES

Abstract

Modern political and economic challenges for Russia, including external sanctions pressure from unfriendly states, are a real threat to its social stability, including in the field of employment and the quality of the working life of Russian citizens. The transfer of powers to the Government of the Russian Federation to establish the specifics of the legal regulation of labor relations serves the purpose of promptly countering threats that arise for the state. The temporary transfer of an employee to another employer, introduced in March 2022, is one such measure. This work is devoted to the identification and analysis of its essential characteristics. The basis of the methodology of the study is historical-legal, formal-legal and comparative-legal methods. As a result, it is concluded that the temporary transfer of an employee to another employer performs a number of important tasks. First, it prevents the mass dismissal of workers due to the suspension of production. Secondly, such a measure is an instrument of social support for employees, and for employers - their economic support in the face of instability in the socio-economic situation. Thirdly, it helps to provide businesses with highly qualified employees, previously unavailable due to competition with foreign companies. Taken together, this allows us to conclude that the construction of a temporary transfer to another employer is of a preventive nature.
