On the basis of systematic analysis of general theoretical and branch studies, it is proposed to consider the legal fact of the existence of labor relations as an act expressed in the form of an employment contract between an employee and the employer or a court decision which has become legally binding, which (action) causes legal consequences within the framework of labor relations, relations with compulsory state social insurance and relations with employee social security. Depending on the purpose of the applicant, the following categories of court disputes are established to establish the fact of the existence of labor relations: confirmation of the length of the employee’s period of insurance; the obligation of the employer to take measures to ensure the implementation of labor rights of the employee; appeal against the decision to bring the employer to liability for violation of labor legislation.
