The confluence of norms and claims is a controversial topic in civil law, which has not been developed from the perspective of labour law relations. In this study, which focuses on the confluence of claims, attention is drawn to the need for a precise definition of this concept, which will allow it to be distinguished from other, similar sets of claims. It is also argued that the concepts of civil law should be used to analyze this institution in the branch of labour law. However, there are factors that particularly influence the shape of the confluence of claims in labor law. These include the coexistence of employment law and civil law sources (grounds) of claims, which may concern the same performance. Another circumstance is the tendency of some representatives of labour law doctrine, as well as of judicial decisions, to give a uniform character to the compensation for material or non-material damage suffered by the employee or the employer. This constitutes a means of overcoming the duality of claims derived from contractual and tort liability regimes.
