The working relationship of employees in companies is one of the key issues of modern labor and public law. Although the employment relationship is traditionally viewed as a private law relationship between an employee and an employer, modern legal systems are increasingly introducing public law elements into the field of work in order to protect employees, achieve social security and preserve the public interest. The aim of the work is to analyze the public legal status of the employment relationship of employees in companies with special reference to comparative solutions in the Republic of Serbia, Germany, France, the United States of America and Italy. The paper analyzes the legal sources of labor law, the role of the state in the regulation of labor relations, the protection of employees' rights, inspection supervision and modern challenges of work flexibility. Special attention is paid to the relationship between the employer's autonomy and public law protection of employees in the conditions of globalization and digitization of work.Downloads
