Article’s main body. In accordance with art. 3 of the Constitution of Ukraine, people’s life and health, honor and
dignity, integrity and security are recognized in Ukraine as the highest social value. At the same time, in the draft of Labor
Code of Ukraine «the right to respect employee’s dignity and honor and its protection» is one of the basic labor rights.
However, either the draft of Labor Code of Ukraine, nor in any other applicable labor acts and regulations, does not contain
specific legal mechanisms that contribute to the protection of employee’s honor and dignity. Also legislator does not define
what is meant by «labor honor». Laz National legislation of Ukraine, unfortunately, does not have a definition of honor
because it is at same time the moral and ethical categories and moral right that could be protect in the judicial procedure.
Conclusions and prospects for the development. Thus, on the basis of the above mentioned, we can consider that
employee’s labor honor is an employee’s attitudes to work, resulting in the assessment to his labor activity by the labor
collective, administration and so on.
Giving the attention to the value of labor honor institute, it should be noted that more detailed development of this
institute will create more favorable working conditions that directly have impact on interest in work.
The development of an effective mechanism for the protection of moral rights of employee will serve as an additional
guarantee and factor to encourage employees to the results of theirs work.
