The article addresses the issue of extending the provisions of a protective nature to increasingly common civil-law employment relations. The starting point of the considerations is the question whether the very fact of concluding a civil law contract justifies depriving the person performing the work of the possibility of including this relationship with any norms of a protective nature characteristic of legal relations. Searching for the answer to such a question comes first to the characteristics of the current labor market. In addition, the author has shown to what extent the labor law provisions, by way of current amendments, have covered civil law employment relations. The merit of the article is the author’s argued position to what extent the protective provisions of labor law should include employment relations established on the basis of the mandate contract.
