PECULIARITIES OF FORMALISING LABOUR RELATIONS AT AN AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISE

Abstract

The article deals with the peculiarities of formalisation of labour relations at agricultural enterprises. The author defines the essence of the concepts of "seasonal work" and "temporary workers” and outlines the range of professions and positions to which irregular working hours may be applied. There are also revealed the characteristics of formalising labour relations in a farm and in business entities registered as individual entrepreneur. The author pays attention to the formalisation of civil law contracts, considers the mandatory attributes of a civil law contract, and determines what shouldn’t arise during its creation. It is emphasised that the titles of positions (professions) to be specified in the staffing table must comply with the Classifier of Professions. The role and significance of the labour collective is revealed, and the organisational documentation contained in the Collection of Unified Forms of Organisational and Administrative Documents is described. The author describes the main documents that are drawn up when formalising labour relations in the agricultural sector, and determines that a collective contract may be concluded not only by legal entities. This contract may also be concluded by an individual entrepreneur. It also stipulates that all business entities, regardless of their legal form and form of ownership, must use the forms of remuneration adopted in Ukraine. Therefore, the package of documents confirming labour relations is not formed at someone`s will, but is a consequence of the remuneration system established at the enterprise, by farmer or individual entrepreneur. The Law stipulates that employees who have access to personal data shall give a written undertaking not to disclose such personal data. In some cases, it is more appropriate for agricultural enterprises to keep a summary record of working time. Therefore, the article examines the rules for keeping summary records, and explains the concepts of "estimated norm" and "calendar norm". Thus, it is concluded that the following issues of legal regulation of labour at agricultural enterprises have not been addressed by scholars.
