Summary/Abstract: In this scientific study, the author presents the EU legislation related to the exercise of the right to work through a platform - legally regulated by DIRECTIVE (EU) 2024/2831 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL. The purpose of the study is to present the new requirements for working through a digital platform. The institutes of the employment relationship and of a self-employed person in a new way determine the status of the worker in algorithmic reporting through automated monitoring or decision-making systems. According to the reporting, a distinction is made between workers: as a person performing work on a platform and a platform worker. New forms of protection, union protection through representatives of workers in the platform, such as trade unions and representatives who are freely elected by workers in the platform, in accordance with national legislation and practice, are brought into focus. Issues related to the social security rights of workers in the platform, related to benefits, sick leave, work accidents and recognition of insurance experience, are brought into focus. The challenges facing national legislators of EU member states are related to the regulation of the responsibilities of the parties when exercising labor rights through a digital platform, as well as the future legal regulation in legal proceedings for the protection of labor rights. Conclusions, recommendations and proposals de lege ferenda are presented.
