To develop recommendations for clarification of legal provisions and propose directions for reducing potential conflict. Methodology. The following methods are used: analysis and synthesis made it possible to substantiate the importance of regulating labor of IDPs; logical generalization – to indicate that legal regulation in judicial practice should be based on the essential content of the basic citizen rights; comparative analysis – to point out the inappropriate level of imperativeness in the legislation regarding legal protection of IDPs; logical generalization – to propose a tool for pre-trial dispute resolution; formal-legal and special-legal methods – to develop changes to legislative provisions. Findings. Problematic issues of regulating the right of IDPs to work are indicated. It is noted that the regulation of the right to work is much broader than the problems of employment of IDPs.

In order to avoid discrimination of IDPs in employment and defamation in the performance of duties under an employment contract, amendments to the Code of Labor Laws are proposed. Originality. Measures to strengthen the imperative of the norms of the current legislation aimed at regulating the labor of IDPs are proposed. Changes to the provisions of the current Laws of Ukraine and directions for reducing the potential for conflict in this area are proposed. Practical value. The implementation of the proposed recommendations on changes to the provisions of the current legislation will contribute to the legal regulation of the labor of IDPs.
