Features of Regulation of the Jurisdiction of Russian Rules Regarding Distance Job over Certain Individuals and Correlation of Rules under Consideration with International Standards

Abstract

The article analyzes the approach applied by the Russian law-makers to define the jurisdiction of law rules regulating a distance job with regard to a certain circle of participants. The author carries out a comparative analysis of the current Russian regulation of the distance job and international concepts in order to answer the question whether it is possible to recognize as distance workers those workers who use modern information and telecommunication networks only to interact with the employer rather than to perform their employment functions. Also, the paper explores the issue of possibility of emergence of the employment relation with regard to the distance job when a written employment contract has not been made.
