- The subject of the labor contract is the employee and the employer.

Distinguishing labor contracts from collaborator contracts:

- The nature of a labor contract is a contract that expresses the agreement of the employee and the employer on paid employment, working conditions, rights and obligations of each party in the labor relationship (according to Article 15 of the Labor Code 2012).

- The nature of a collaborative contract is a contract that bears the essence of a service contract (civil contract). Service contract means an agreement between parties whereby a service provider performs work for a service user, and a service user must pay a service provider fee (specified in Article 513 Civil Code 2015).
