Abstract

The article attempts to design new approaches to the concept and legal nature of guarantees and compensations. The research based on the Russian Federation Labor Code norms and the labor law doctrine studies the concepts, definitions of the guarantees and compensations. Russian labor law theory has not developed the concept of guarantees and compensations, which obviously poses problems of applying respective norms of labor laws. This is especially evident in the case of mixing up the norms on guarantees and compensations with the norms of the concept of salary. Besides, guarantees and compensations have not been identified as part of the Russian labor law as a system. The paper proposes a system analysis of the problems of guarantees and compensations and the development of the conception guarantees and compensations in the Russian labor law. This aim to be achieved, the following tasks should be approached: to reveal the features of guarantees and compensations as a category of labor law; to define the concept of guarantees and compensations; to draw a demarcation line between guarantee payments and salary, as well as to differentiate various compensation payments as an element of the institution of salary and compensations. The object of the research is the relation as to providing guarantees and compensations to employees; the subject-matter are the norms of Russian labor law on guarantees and compensations, theoretical assumptions of the experts in labor law. The work is the first complex research of the fundamental concepts of labor law and the problems of guarantees and compensations in the modern environment. The presented theoretical assumptions contribute significantly to the conceptual model of regulating guarantees and compensations and serve as a basis for further relevant research of such complex legal concepts as guarantees and compensations and can promote to the development of the Russian Federation Labor Code and other normative legal acts containing the labor law norms.
