New forms of employment are being introduced all around the world which mostly resulted in indecent working condition of persons performing such activities sometimes not recognised as employment activities neither. They are usually followed by low labour and social security law protection. In other words, presently, they form new groups of precarious workers with into indecent terms and conditions of work. In the background lays the unclear employment status of platform workers and the absent, unclear or incomplete terms and conditions or rules of engagement between the platform and the platform worker. In this paper, the authors give an overview of perspectives about on demand platform work. The theoretical approach, EU institutional view together with national and CJEU Case-law jurisprudence are used to detect the elements of this new form of work with suggestions that on demand platform workers should be assigned employment status and consequently applicability of labour law.
