Abstract

New technologies are revolutionizing the labor market—the way work is performed is changing, but so is the structure of employment in many sectors of the economy. Automation and robotization of employment lead to the elimination of many jobs. Moreover, digital work tools are undoubtedly influencing the way work is performed—remote work and digital communication have become the standard in many industries. E-commerce, digital platforms, and the gig economy are creating new opportunities and conditions for performing work. Technology makes it possible to work from anywhere, which increases employment flexibility, but also affects responsibilities of employers (which are usually entrepreneurs). Also, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the labor market and the rules for employment. Remote work, the use of remote communication devices and means, new forms of broadly defined employment are no longer the future. Currently, employees, as well as employers, can't imagine any other model of work than based on new technologies in the broadest sense, facilitating and accelerating the performance of employee’s obligations. The main aim of the article is to present two main solutions that have emerged in connection with new technologies in the EU and in Poland, which are remote work and so-called platform work, with special focus on employers obligations. The analysis was based on the comparative and dogmatic-legal method, using relevant literature and legal acts.
