Abstract
Based on the analysis of existing legal acts, judicial practice and special legal literature, the use of regulators of civil law relations in labor conflicts related to compensation for moral damage to the weak side of an employment relationship is analyzed. Arguments are presented against the concepts defining the need for direct, subsidiary or intersectoral application of civil law to the sphere of labor relations.
The nature, signs, and forms of compensation for moral harm to an employee are analyzed. The approaches in which compensation for moral harm is traditionally disclosed using evaluative concepts and social regulators of actual social relations (moral categories) are criticized. The author’s conclusions and proposals are formulated, suggesting the need to change the norms of labor law governing compensation for moral damage to an employee in accordance with the goals and objectives of the legal regulation of labor relations.
