Besides, the problems of shadow employment in Ukraine were considered, in particular, the background of labor legislation infringement, which is expressed,firstly, in the payment of wages to employees «in an envelope»;secondly, in hiring employees to work without proper employment contracts with them. It is proved that the payment of wages «in envelopes» is the burden of our time, which entails a lot of problems, weakening the social protection of workers and reducing revenues to budgets and state social funds.
