The classification conundrum: Four key trends on regulating platform work

The classification of employment status for digital platform workers remains a central and frequently debated issue. Drawing on a recent Ius Laboris report, we explore four key regulatory trends that employers should be aware of. Digital platform work continues to grow in scale and visibility. In parallel, we are seeing an increase in regulatory responses focused specifically on this area. The challenge for policymakers is addressing concerns about worker misclassification, while avoiding undue constraints on the flexibility and autonomy that underpin many platform models. Employment classification sits at the centre of this conundrum. Drawing on insights from our recent report, The Classification Conundrum, in this article we explore four key worker classification trends emerging globally and consider what they mean for platform companies and operators. For further details, including practical insights from our experts, you can download the full report via Ius Laboris website.

European Court of Justice partially annuls the Minimum Wage Directive

Back in March we asked the question, will the EU Minimum Wage Directive be annulled? On 11 November 2025, we got our answer. The Court of Justice of the European Union has annulled part of the EU Minimum Wage Directive – and at the same time has given the green light to the rest of it. Our question earlier in the year, ‘Will the EU Minimum Wage Directive be annulled?‘, followed the Advocate General’s assessment that it should be in its entirety because it is incompatible with the EU Treaty basis. Well, we now finally have the answer to our question in light of the recent ruling from the Court of Justice of the European Union (the CJEU). We explore the details below.
