By analysing international, European Union and national legal acts, specialised literature and other relevant sources, this master’sthesis reveals the key challenges of legal regulation arising in the organisation of work through digital platforms. First, the concept of digital platforms is defined, along with their main operational features and classification, emphasising that digital platforms are transforming the traditional labour market by creating new forms of work organisation based on flexible working conditions. Subsequently, the thesis examines the legal regulation challenges related to work performed via digital platforms, highlighting that the current employment status of individuals providing services through such platforms without recognising them as subjects of employment relationships raises significant legal issues in ensuring fair working conditions, social protection, the right to collective bargaining, and adequate personal data protection. Finally, considerable attention is devoted to the analysis of the provisions of Directive (EU) 2024/2831 of the European Parliament and of the Council on improving working conditions in platform work. The analysis leads to the conclusion that the transposition of this directive into the national laws of the Member States will represent a significant step in legislative development, aiming to ensure legal certainty regarding the employment status of platform workers, fair working conditions, protection against the excessive impact of automated monitoring and decision-making systems used by platforms, and greater transparency of working conditions. |
