ATYPICAL WORK RELATIONSHIPS: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS AS EXEMPLIFIED BY EAEU MEMBER STATES

Аннотация

The paper is dedicated to the issues of the correlation between typical and atypical work legal relationships, the problem of classification of atypical work legal relationships based on the modification of personal, property, and organizational criteria. Based on an analysis of EAEU member states’ legislations on certain kinds of atypical work legal relationships, the author comes to a conclusion about expanding fixed-term work legal relationships in combination with the elements of age discrimination that constitutes a negative trend and does not enable improvement in the quality of work-life for employees. After the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for various kinds of remote work will grow. It is not implausible that in due time, the execution of work functions in a hybrid format (some working hours remotely and some – in the office) will become an element of typical work legal relationships. Although the regulation of atypical work legal relationships in EAEU member states differs (sometimes significantly), the establishment of common economic space, common markets, including a labor market, mutual influence of legal systems on each other, striving to take the experience of neighbors into account and other circumstances will lead to the gradual harmonization of the legal space in the field of work and other relationships directly connected to them.
