| Abstract [eng] |
Differences between “working for yourself” and “working for another person” have existed since ages but they have become more and more important when social relations became more sophisticated. Both dependent and independent work coexisted, and only their popularity varied through years. Labour Law was created to regulate dependent work, Civil Law regulates self-employment. Various aspects of interactions between Labour and Civil Law have been analysed in Lithuanian legal doctrine and the traditional Labour Law theory have been formulated. This paper originally takes into account both legal systems – Labour and Civil Law – and analyses their interactions. This analysis identifies main characteristics of labour relations, formulates conclusive criteria to differentiate dependent work and self-employment, purifies the essence of Labour Law method, analyses possibilities to perform work under employment or civil contract, suggests legal rules, which reconcile methods of Labour and Civil Law. |
