Theoretical and legal aspects of the development and introduction of background and remote work in modern realities

Abstract

Problem setting. The authors were interested in such issues of labor relations as the distinction between the concepts of home and remote forms of employment by employees. Due to the global coronavirus pandemic and other global destructive processes caused by it. In Ukraine, typical changes are non-standard working hours, remote employment. There are no exact statistics on the number of people working remotely in Ukraine. But these processes in the field of employment already affect the social and labor sphere, because under their influence changes both the structure and content of social and labor relations. This work is devoted to the analysis of home and distance work, as well as the impact of globalization processes on them.

Target of research. The purpose of the article is to the provide a comparative description of home-based work and telework, identify their common features and differences, which in turn will identify ways to improve existing legislation in the field of teleworking.

Analysis of resent researches and publications. The following scientists were engaged in research of the specified issue: A. Ya. Bartkiv, N. M. Vapnyarchuk, I. Ya. Kiselyova, A. M. Kolota, A. D. Lukina, A. A. Morozova, I. I. Motornaya, M. I. Nanieva, O. A. Naumenko, S. M. Prilipka, A. V. Sardaryan, V. V. Yurovskaya, O. M. Yaroshenko.

Article’s main body. A. M. Kolot defines the essence of remote employment and the fact that it is quite clearly defined as a non-standard form of employment, which is applied to the flexible social and labor relations between employee and employer and takes place in a virtual environment using information and communication technologies. S.M. Prilipko and OM Yaroshenko, internal labor regulations are the order of behavior and interaction between employees and the employer in the process of employment at a particular enterprise. In fact, this is the rule of law within the enterprise. In other words, the internal work schedule determines the organization and procedure of work, as well as the related rights and responsibilities of the employer and employees. Naumenko O.A. emphasizes that, the advantages of home-based work are that not being able to increase the wages of employees by the employer, he can encourage a convenient mode of work, which can compensate for the lack of material incentives and meet his needs more than additional funds. The opportunity to spend more time in a social environment, to have freedom in movement, location, choice of their rhythm of life, which provides home work, is more important than a high salary or a prestigious position. The main value of this definition is that homesteading acts as an additional form of employment and is of great economic importance. The development of this type of work allows to expand production, make fuller use of local resources and industrial waste without high costs for the construction of new production facilities and administrative and production staff. The development of home-based work is constrained by the lack of proper legal regulation of this area of activity.

Conclusions and prospects for the development. Author think, this article will be useful both for novice scholars, as it contains many generalizations of theoretical material based on the work of many authors, and for experienced professionals in the field of labor law. Because the authors focus on many problematic issues related to remote and home work. It can serve as a springboard for scientists to further research, both the institutes of telecommuting and home labor, and labor law in general.
