It is difficult today to get a job, stay firmly and permanently in one place, and even more so go up the career ladder if you simply do not know your job responsibilities, rights and freedoms. Many of us, for the first time deciding to get a job, do not even read the contract that they sign with their future employer, but he, in turn, has already stepped on this rake once and now just uses our defenselessness and trust. More than once such legally illiterate people fell into the trap, and they had to either work, fulfilling all the requirements specified in the contract, although they infringed their rights, or to bring the matter to trial, which sometimes made no sense. After all, you yourself, of your own free will, put your signature and, therefore, agreed to the terms of the contract. And why you did not consider it necessary to read it carefully is not an excuse. To avoid such situations, it is necessary to know at least the basics of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. You live in this country, which means you must know and abide by its laws, as well as be able to stand up for yourself and your rights, because for this there is everything you need in the same laws. And what do you know even from the school curriculum about the Labor Code of the Russian Federation? What is it and why is it created?
Labor legislation is a special independent branch of legal relations that regulates the system of norms that balance the relations between the parties in the labor process. In the Russian Federation, the Labor Code of the Russian Federation can be considered the source of modern labor law . This is not a frozen code of laws. Changes in labor legislation are constantly recorded in the process of working on this state document.
The subject of study and regulation of the Labor Law is the structure of social relations arising out of a contractually determined labor subordinate to a particular employer, personally performing it for a certain (fixed) fee - salary.
Labor legislation has several specific goals. This is the protection of the interests and rights of employers and their workers, the organization of favorable conditions for the work of citizens and their protection from unemployment, and the provision by the state of guarantees of labor law and freedoms of citizens of the Russian Federation.
Labor legislation arose back in Soviet times. It was isolated from existing Civil Law. Since labor was not previously considered as a separate product or service, and the state’s drafting laws were the main employer at that time, each employee was supposed to have several options - paid leave, job guarantees for young people after graduating from universities and other educational institutions, and the protection of women of childbearing age category. The grounds for dismissal were very limited.
The Labor Code in the Russian Federation was adopted by the State Duma on 21.12. 2001 and confirmed by the Federation Council on December 26. Since that time, TC has become the main regulator of the interaction between the employee and the employer.
Labor legislation combines the features of private and public law. Collective-contractual regulation is carried out at various levels - from one organization to the entire state or transnational corporation directly on the territory of the interacting countries.
Labor legislation is an assistant for each of us. The laws indicated in it help us to be confident in our future, to adequately protect our rights and interests at work directly when communicating with management and the team. Appreciate this opportunity and use the knowledge of the Labor Code in your life.
