Legal Nature of Separate Business Units of Organizations

Abstract

Applying the retrospective analysis the author establishes the source and time of occurrence of the terminological group "branch, representative office and other separate business unit of the organization" in the legal regulation of labor relations. The emergence of such an entity as a separate business unit in the sphere of labor is associated with a change in priorities in the organization of the activities of legal entities. Historical background and theory of organization leads to the conclusion that the need of a legal entity to expand opportunities for external interaction, including due to a change in the geography of activity, can be satisfied through the creation of special units. Special units are separate units of the organization and differ from remote divisions and workplaces in their purpose. The author formulates material and formal signs of special units. The author proposes to consider the terminological group used in the labor sphere as a method of generalizing single-order formations. It is proved that the application of the generalization technique does not create a new concept in the labor sphere but requires the establishment of clearer boundaries.
