To the question of remuneration for creative workers

Abstract

The salary received by an employee under an employment contract is, as a rule, his only source of livelihood. Within the framework of this article, some problems of remuneration of creative workers are considered during the period when they do not participate in the creation and (or) performance (exhibit) of works or do not act. The article concludes that abuse by employers of the freedom granted to them by Part 5 of Article 157 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation leads to a significant deterioration in the position of creative workers in comparison with workers in other professions. At the same time, the norms of differentiation should not be interpreted arbitrarily in violation of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the fundamental norms of labor law, be discriminatory. It is concluded that the freedom of the employer as a party to the employment contract, even within the framework of the institution of remuneration, should be limited within certain limits. The ways of improving the current labor legislation are proposed.
