AB The study comprehensively presents the main effects of digitisation. Due to itscomplexity, digitisation affects the employment and labour markets in different ways.It partially changes working conditions, brings to life new forms of employment and,as a result of the development of technology, professions disappear. Thus, all thisnecessarily poses different challenges to the legislation. The forms of work in thegig economy – which was brought to life by the online space – cannot be classifiedas a traditional legal framework. Teleworking has been absolutely valorised by thecoronavirus pandemic. Looking to the near future, after the end of the pandemic,teleworking is expected to play a much more significant role in the labour market.The study presents the marked forms of digitisation that have emerged in employmentand summarises its supranational legal issues. It also presents the digitisationcharacteristics of Hungary, Italy and Spain. It examines how legislation and thejudiciary have provided answers to the issues of digitisation. Consequently, the study analyses three main trends: the impact of digitalisation in general, telework, and thegig economy, with special regard to the categorisation of workers (employees, selfemployedand possible third categories in between). The study argues that the conceptof ‘employment relationship’ has to be interpreted in a much broader way; generalguarantees must be valid for all forms of work performed by people in economicdependence and in a state of economic weakness.
