The article sets the task of studying the problem of the possibility of applying civil law to actual labor relations in cases of gaps in labor law. Goals and objectives of the study: analysis of general scientific, legal, special and practical arguments; current judicial practice, as well as general scientific and legal literature. In accordance with the general dialectical method of cognition, general theoretical methods were used – analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, logical, systemic, as well as specific scientific methods – formal-logical and historical. The article concludes that actual labor relations are not “organized” by legal regulators, but are in the sphere of legal regulation. At the same time, actual labor relations and civil legal relations regulated by legal regulators are not characterized by comparable properties, features and methods of legal regulation. Consequently, there are not sufficiently convincing general scientific and legal arguments for the implementation of legal regulators of civil legal relations to actual labor relations.
