Związki prawa ubezpieczeń społecznych z prawem pracy

Abstract

Social insurance law and labour law have been intrinsically interrelated since the very beginning of their existence, as they cover the same sphere of human activity. At present we can observe that these relations are weakening mainly due to the continuously extending personal scope of social insurance law. The most important relations between social insurance law and labour law may be classified as relations of material (defining conditions of granting benefits), functional (legal methodology and political measures) and organisational (administrative) nature. A shift in the direction of the influence on shaping the rights and obligations of the labour relationship parties may be observed. It is no longer labour law that exclusively determines the situations protected (insurance risk), but to a broader extent both social insurance law and labour law are used simultaneously to reach a goal that is pursued.
