Some issues of development of Russian employment law
The groundwork of contemporary science makes it possible to extend substantially the research area for specialists in the employment law. In scientific and academic literature, much consideration is given to the specificity of employment law and its demarcation from closely-related sciences. However, successful (effective) practice of rule-making and, in particular, of law-making activity puts a question not so much on the demarcation, as on the unity of sciences which are closely connected with the employment law. Indeed, the development of contemporary science of employment law can not be based mainly on its demarcation from closely-related sciences yet. Moreover, the need to consider employment law not only in the system of humanitarian sciences, but also in the system of technological, technical, and natural ones is becoming more and more obvious. Thus, groundwork results of the aforementioned sciences enable specialists in the employment law, for example, to understand conditions of hiring, determine (revise) working time and time off rates, especially job safety and remuneration of labour. The technological process which was developed by representatives of technological sciences and implemented by the employer within an organization determines the specific selection and placement of personnel the employer should follow. Without the knowledge of the groundwork of medical, technological sciences it is quite difficult, for example, to explain why the refusal to employ a mentally ill or a colour-blind person or an alcohol/drugs abuser as a driver can not be considered as discrimination. It is also impossible without the knowledge of these sciences to develop legal provisions regulating labour of minors and women, in particular, on weight carrying over by them, and on peculiarities of their hiring and dismissal. Many issues of employment law can be resolved taking as a basis the theory of ''diffusion'' of closely-related sciences. Indeed, there is a frontier (diffusive) interaction area between them, the area of exchange by the groundwork in theory and practice. In this area, quite often both new ideas, scientific schools appear and frontiers which were unknown before are forming. Thus, Tomsk School of Employment Law has formulated and studied to a certain extent such frontiers as logic of employment law, hermeneutics of employment law, sociology of employment law, acribology, etc. The analysis of these frontiers is conducted by the author in the article.
