Abstract

Taking into account the general historical past, the paper examines current issues of the scope of application of labour law in Ukraine. The article aims to study the legislation governing the labour activity of special categories of persons, who do not have the status of an employee (civil servants, military, police officers, judges, etc.). The authors also pay attention to bogus self-employed, who perform work personally and are more or less economically dependent on a single principal/employer arguments. Based on the analysis, both negative and positive tendencies related to the sphere of application of labour law were identified. It has been established that the scope of labour law in Ukraine is characterized by its constant dynamics. The outdated legal structure of the current Labour Code of Ukraine does not display the situation of legal regulation of work activity that has changed and ignores the existence of new special legal acts. It is concluded that even though at the beginning of the 21st century the scope of labour law has narrowed, at the moment, the prerequisites for its gradual expansion are being traced. Considering the fact that the issue of adopting a new Labor Code in Ukraine is still open, the authors expect that, when developing a new Code, the legislator will focus properly on the scope of application of labour law according to the modern tendencies in this sphere.
