The article deals with the interpretation of Article 31 of the Labour Code regulating the issue of employer's representation in the scope of performing activities within the scope of labour law. The considerations relate to the meaning of the concept of activities within the scope of labour law, the concept of a person and a managing body, the manner of appointing another person to carry out the aforementioned activities, as well as the consequences of a subjective deficiency on the part of the employer in carrying out legal activities in the sphere of individual employment relationships.

Keywords: acts relating to labour law; the managing person or body; another destignated person; another person entrusted; representation of employer; defectiveness of legal acts
