Combination of legislative and contractual regulation in social and labor relations

This article discusses some issues of combining state (legislative) and contractual regulation in social and labor relations. Attention is drawn to the gradual narrowing of the sphere of centralized regulation of social and labor relations, in the implementation of the norms of which there is an increasingly clear trend of the need to provide only a minimum level of labor and legal guarantees for employees. At the same time, in this regard, the role and importance of contractual regulation of relations in the field of labor law is increasing, with the increasing importance of concluding collective agreements and agreements within the framework of social partnership.
