Risks of Entrepreneurial Activity and Their Impact on the Development of Labor Relations

Abstract

The article analyzes the concept of “risk” as an economic, social and legal category. The author defines the legal boundaries of this concept from the point of view of entrepreneurial activity and reveals their features. Legal instruments are also considered that allow entrepreneurs, in the conditions of economic crises, to pay special attention to the risks associated with the conclusion of employment contracts with employees. At the same time, a conclusion is drawn on the need to improve the system of internal local legal regulation, forecasting situations in which the risk of absenteeism due to objective circumstances can lead to significant losses. The boundaries of employee social protection and protection are determined by various means that are available to the employer, in particular legal, economic and organizational.
