Abstract
The impossibility of using legal regulators of civil relations to regulate labor conflicts is analyzed. Arguments are made against theories asserting the expediency of directly or indirectly involving the norms of civil law in the field of labor relations.
Within the framework of the concept of an integrative understanding of law, a conclusion is formulated indicating that civil law is different from labor law and cannot be applied to the regulation of labor relations directly, additionally (vicariously) or using an intersectoral analogy. In this regard, a proposal is being put forward to amend the Labor Code of the Russian Federation to restrict the use of regulators of legal relations similar to labor relations.
