From the authors: Apparently, it is no secret to anyone that labor law does not protect the rights of workers . The degree of dependence of employees on the representatives of the employer is so great that it leads to the refusal to protect their rights guaranteed by labor legislation. Therefore, in practice, the rules that are established for employees by the employer apply. These rules are often far from the requirements of labor legislation. It is also impossible not to notice the lack of effective mechanisms that ensure the legitimate behavior of employers and the protection of labor rights of employees. This monographic study is devoted to the protection of labor rights of employees . A distinctive feature of this work is the possibility of using most of its provisions for the protection of labor rights without amending the law. Despite the fact that it considers the role of state supervision in the protection of labor rights of citizens, other methods and forms of such protection did not go unnoticed by the author. Moreover, the paper considers possible ways and forms of protection of labor rights, options for their simultaneous use, the relations that arise, the rights and obligations of participants in this relationship, the most effective methods that can protect the labor rights of employees.
