Right to Work: Challenges of Experimental Legal Regimes

Abstract

The right to work, being a fundamental right of any person, acquires special significance in the context of the introduction of digital technologies, and, above all, the implementation of experimental legal regimes. Experimental legal regimes that involve the use of a simplified approach to the legal regulation of certain social relations are associated with a number of theoretical and practical problems in the implementation of the right to work. As part of the study, in order to find a solution to these problems, the basic characteristics of innovative specialties and professions were identified. This allowed the author to formulate a definition of the concepts “innovative specialty” and “innovative profession”. Based on conceptual approaches to the legal regulation of relations within the framework of experimental legal regimes, the article proposes to use an imperative method of regulating relations for the employee to perform an innovative labor function within the framework of the employer’s activities on the basis of these legal regimes. Certain directions for improving regulatory legal and other acts in the field of standardization of professional activities of workers performing an innovative labor function are proposed.
