The relevance of labor laws in labor legal relations was highlighted in the introduction. Due to the topic's distinctiveness, emphasis was placed on the service contract, its substance, and function in legal interactions. The labor contract was examined, as well as its defining qualities and the differences between the labor contract and the service contract. The employment contract's minimal standard of protection for the employee was emphasized.
Based on the nature of the work, emphasis was placed on the motivation of the employer when signing a service contract with the employee rather than an employment contract. The benefits to the employer of entering such an arrangement with the employee were explored. The consequences of signing a service contract rather than an employment contract were brought to light. In the mentioned instance, a decision was taken about the need for contract cancellation and the legal measures for employee protection.
The emerging topic drew attention to judicial practice, which was created by the general courts within the framework of Georgian legislation. The practice of Western European and American courts in respect to the matter under debate was referenced to support the argument. Finally, the author's position was stated as a conclusion.
