Trokhina, A. V. The Problems of Regulation of Volunteers’ Employment in Russia

Abstract: The present article is devoted to peculiarities of regulation of volunteers’ employment in Russia. At the present time many volunteers perform their services outside the legal environment due to the gaps in legislation. In July and August of 2012 the society debated about a draft law on volunteer services and criticized the initial version offered by the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation. As an alternative, it was suggested that the government should confine themselves to making relevant amendments to the effective Tax, Labor and Civil Codes as well as the Federal Law on Charitable Activities and Charitable Organizations. The author of the present article analyzes both approaches and describes advantages and disadvantages of each approach.
