Recentes transformações no direito do trabalho

: a presunção de laboralidade nas plataformas digitais à luz do art. 12-A do código do trabalho

Abstract

This dissertation analyzes the presumption of employment in work through digital platforms, in the light of Article 12-A of the Labour Code. The study addresses the transformations of labour law in the face of digitalization and the gig economy, exploring the legal challenges in distinguishing between subordinate and autonomous work. Through an analysis of legislation, case law and reports by the Working Conditions Authority (ACT), the need to clarify legal criteria is discussed, especially with regard to algorithmic subordination and the impact of these employment relationships on workers' rights.
