In recent years, new forms of employment have been on the rise all over Europe. The 'full-time job' is now no longer an option for many people seeking employment. It has been replaced by an ever-expanding plethora of 'atypical' employment relationships designed by employers to streamline their operations and\/or take advantage of Information and Communications Technology (ICT). Numerous labour law issues arise, demanding urgent attention. How should law and policy best address these challenges? This timely book explores this contentious topic in depth, presenting ten penetrating chapters on aspects of the topic by leading European labour law authorities followed by reports on new forms of employment in thirty-five European countries.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat's in this book: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFull-scale analysis of new forms of employment, their characteristics, and their effects on working conditions and the labour market includes such issues as the following: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e employment relationships with more than one employer;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e discontinuous and\/or intermittent work;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e work based on networking arrangements;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e labour pooling;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e crowd sourcing;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e lack of worker representation;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e rights for vulnerable migrant workers;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e removal of wage and hours threshold;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e false self-employment;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e non-payment of 'small' amounts (e.g., holiday pay);\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cem\u003eportage salarial \u003c\/em\u003e- umbrella companies;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e voucher-based work;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e ICT-based mobile work;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e organisations offering specific administrative services;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e need for safety nets for workers; and\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e existing and potential monitoring and control mechanisms.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRelevant EU Directives and national legal frameworks regarding new forms of employment are fully discussed, with an emphasis on recent trends and proposed solutions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow this will help you: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book presents jurisdictional reports by experts on new forms of employment in their respective countries, raises awareness of the problems generated by new emerging forms of employment, and provides some answers and insights, including lessons to be learned from current developments.
