Problems of the registration of labor relations in conditions of the economic model of the Fourth Industrial Revolution

The large-scale implementation of the digital technologies in conditions of the transformation of the economic model of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) requires new approaches in the registration of labor relations, due to the presence of an integrated legal institution of labor relations in the digital economy, which includes the norms of economic and labor law. Questions arise on the possibility of broader application of various aspects of the digital economy to the issues of regulating labor and other directly related relations so that these processes could be consolidated at the legislative level and in local regulations. The article is devoted to the legal aspects of the introduction of electronic documents. The key element in deciding on the establishment of the electronic document management (for example, electronic labor contract) is the issue of entering into, modifying and terminating an employment contract in electronic form. To do this, according to the authors, it is necessary to resolve the issue of changing the Labor Code of the Russian Federation in which it is stated that the employment contract is concluded in writing, drawn up in two copies, each of which is signed by the parties. It also requires a legislative decision on the issue of a written notice to the employee about changes in the conditions of the employment contract and familiarization with relevant orders (instructions).
