To a question on interpretation of a terms
framework of a principle of a combination of unity and differentiation of legal
regulation of labour relations
In a science of the labour law to research of questions of differentiation
of legal regulation of labour relations the considerable attention is paid. The
unity only then is the present when it is differentiated, and the differentiation
achieves the object only when it is uniform. V.V. Zhernakov, S.M. Prilipko
and G.S. Goncharova fairly specify, that the unity does not exclude, and,
on the contrary, provides differentiation. Designated «the dialectic formula»
admits overwhelming majority of scientists which were engaged in research of
problems of unity and differentiation of legal regulation of labour relations.
If to characterise process of working
out of the law in sphere of the labour law language of the exact
sciences, that, it is necessary to notice, that action of «centripetal» and «centrifugal»
forces receives the natural expression in unity and differentiation of legal
regulation of labour relations.
The concept «differentiation» occurs from latin. differentia — the
divergence also means division, a partition, stratification whole on various
parts, forms and degrees. In the New explanatory dictionary of the Ukrainian
language the specified concept is interpreted as division, a partition
something on separate diverse elements. To differentiate–divide, dismember
something on separate diverse elements; differentiation — (from french. differenciation,
from latin. differentia — a difference, difference) — division,
a partition whole on qualitatively excellent parts. However, in a science of
the labour law to this category various approaches are traced. So, still S.L. Rabinovich–Zaharin
under differentiation understood such divergences in norms of the labour law
for various categories of workers which follow from character and the
maintenance of labour relations. According to V.I. Prokopenko, differentiation
of the labour legislation are the differences established by the state in the
maintenance and volume of the rights and duties of subjects of labour relations
on the certain bases. L.A. Sirovatsky underlines already, that the
differentiation of legal regulation of work is expressed, in particular, that
by special certificates: the general norms taking into account features of
manufacture (for example, norms about payment and a labour safety, about
introduction of the summarised account of working hours, etc.) are concretised;
privileges (level of guarantees raises) for persons who work in harmful and
heavy working conditions are established; for some categories of women, minor;
for persons with the lowered work capacity; special, more strict measures
disciplinary and a liability and the simplified bases of the termination of the
labour contract (in a consequence or special labour functions of the worker, or
gravity of consequences of infringement by it of labour duties) are
established. At the same time V.V. Zhernakov, S.M. Prilipko and G.S. Goncharova specify, that the
differentiation is a divergence in norms of the work, caused by the important
features of working conditions in this or that sphere, its value for a national
economy, divergences in subjects of labour relations, character of labour
communications, climatic conditions. O.V. Jaroshenko as differentiation of
the labour legislation understands division, delimitation of its rules of law
on the basis of legally significant elements for a concrete definition of
general provisions of the legislation on work to corresponding categories of
workers. According to F.B. Shtivelberga, the differentiation of the labour
law is caused by objective circumstances legislative division of rules of law
into the general which regulate work of all workers, and special, establishing
features of a legal regulation of labour relations of some categories of
workers. S.V. Popov asserts in turn, that the differentiation of legal
regulation, first of all, is connected with existence of special norms which
establishes certain features of legal regulation. Under differentiation of
legal regulation of work, according to this author, it is necessary to
understand caused objective, subject and divergence social factors in the
maintenance and volume of the rights and duties of subjects of labour relation.
If to analyse more in detail resulted above a position of authors, in
particular, it is heavy to agree with F.B. Shtivelberga’s statement in a
part where the researcher asserts, that differentiation of the labour law it is
exclusive «legislative division» rules of law on the general and special. We
think, that the differentiation can and is really carried out often at level certificates
accepted on the basis of the law. Making comments S.V. Popova’s on
position, it is necessary to notice, that this author in the definition does
not adhere to the full to a rule of unity of criterion of classification of the
bases of differentiation, and also resorts to the tautological approach as
«social», it appears, can be both «objective» and «subjective» factors of
differentiation. V.V. Zhernakov, S.M. Prilipko and
G.S. Goncharova, in our opinion, interpret concept of differentiation
unreasonably «narrowly», after all reduce the characteristic of the last to «divergence»
only in «norms of work», instead of in general in system of the labour rights
and duties. Giving ought O.N. Jaroshenko’s to reasons, we will notice, that
this researcher, in our opinion, unreasonably displaces accent during the
characteristic of essence of concept «differentiation» on division,
delimitation of «rules of law», instead of as it should be, volume and the maintenance
of the labour rights and duties of participants of sociolabor relations.
Considering stated,
concept «the differentiation of legal regulation of labour relations» can be
formulated as established on the certain bases and by means of the special
norms provided by certificates legislative or accepted according to them, difference
(compared with the general) in the maintenance and volume of the separate
labour rights, duties and powers of certain categories of participants of
sociolabor relations. The author of the given publication in the scientific
workings [1–5] out is guided by such understanding of the specified concept.
