The article analyzes the optimization of the legislative technique of the codification of the labor legislation of Ukraine with regard to the improvement of the relevant regulatory terminology. It was noted that the use of new methods and tools in the creation of legal norms within labor law is aimed at establishing a balance between the unity and differentiation of labor law, harmony between the use of centralized and local methods of legal regulation of labor.
It has been clarified that the optimization of legislative terminology within the framework of the codification of labor legislation should provide for: 1) clear and unambiguous use of legal concepts and definitions; 2) definition of fundamental terms should be carried out at the level of the Labor Code of Ukraine; 3) it is necessary to give preference to simple and understandable terms, the use of excessively complex and unclear legal concepts, definitions, etc. is fundamentally unacceptable; 4) gradual and complete elimination of outdated legislative terminology is necessary.
It is concluded that the optimization of the legislative technique of the codification of labor legislation in terms of improving the relevant regulatory terminology is the initial stage of the formation of socially oriented labor legislation, which provides workers with guarantees against illegal dismissal, forced labor and the optional conclusion of an employment contract at the enterprise, institution, organization. On the basis of the above, it is worth, in particular, to optimize the concepts of «employer», «employee», «single mother» and define them within the framework of a unified labor law understanding in the Labor Code of Ukraine.
