Abstract

This paper examines issues related to labouring across platforms. In the era of digitalization, the employment, respectively the labour and social security legislation undergoes a transformation that affects both basic legal institutes and legal principles and rights. In this regard, the authors bring to the field of legal doctrine some questions related to different aspects of the issue - employment through a platform. On the one hand, the issues related to the labour law side, such as the legal status of the workers through the platform and the protection of their labour rights, as well as hypotheses of liability are examined. On the other hand, issues from the point of view of social security law are analyzed, such as social protection. The study advocates the need for a change in legislation, both at the European level in order to regulate the process within the EU, and a related national update of the norms. The article interweaves two interrelated perspectives, analysing platform work through the prism of labour and social security legislation. Based on the analysis, conclusions are drawn to summarize the main challenges and recommendations for improving the legal framework are made. Traditional legal research methods such as normative, comparative law, induction and deduction were used to achieve the research objective.
