The article analyzes the characteristics of ensuring the rights of employees during the period of the legal regime of martial law. It has been established that the system of guarantees for ensuring the rights of employees and citizens in the conditions of the legal regime of martial law has undergone changes in relation to a set of objective and subjective factors, which are aimed at the practical implementation of universally recognized labor rights, respectively. Attention is drawn to the fact that the current legislation of Ukraine provides for a general procedure for ensuring the labor rights of employees during the period of the legal regime of martial law.

Special regulations regarding the provision of labor rights refer to labor obligation as a type of short-term labor obligation. It is noted that the normative predictability of the guarantee of the rights of persons involved in compulsory labor testifies to the consideration of the interests and rights of the person both during the period of the legal regime of martial law and after its termination, an argument in favor of the stated thesis will be the existing normatively detailed procedure for involvement in labor duty at the level of a sub-legal normative act.

The signs of a special labor obligation in the form of labor obligation are singled out, namely: 1) expression through the use of socially useful works, which must be performed within the framework of the introduced labor obligation; 2) initiation by military command and/or military administrations (if they are formed) through the adoption of a decision in the form of an act of the relevant military administration or military command; 3) the decision on labor obligation must include mandatory components; 4) the acquisition of a special labor obligation is associated with the absence of an opportunity for an able-bodied person to be drafted for military service, who, due to age and health, has no restrictions to work under martial law; 5) will not apply to the legally defined categories of able-bodied persons; 6) confirmation of a specific employment obligation for a specific person is reflected in a fixed-term employment contract; 7) the person to whom the labor obligation has been applied for the duration of the work is guaranteed to retain the previous place of work (position), etc.

Key words: labor rights, legal regime, limitations of labor rights, labor contract, labor obligation.
