Am I running a digital labour platform?

A self-check based on the definition of digital labour platform in Article 2(1) and the indicators of direction and control that trigger the rebuttable legal presumption of an employment relationship under Article 5 of Directive (EU) 2024/2831. Read the article before answering: What is a digital labour platform?

Part 1 — Four premises of the definition (Article 2(1)(a))

For each premise, answer yes if it describes how your service operates in practice.

Part 2 — Twelve indicators of direction and control (Article 5)

For each indicator, answer yes if it describes how the platform operates in practice. The presumption in Article 5 applies when facts indicating direction and control are found.

Signals to discuss with counsel — not a determination.

This self-check is a starting point for a conversation with a lawyer, not a legal classification. National law, collective agreements and the case-law of the Court of Justice decide the actual employment status of the people working through the platform. Article 5(1) shifts the burden of proof to the platform only after facts indicating direction and control are found.
