New Guide Published: The EU Platform Work Directive
Economou & Co LLC has published a practical guide on Directive (EU) 2024/2831 on improving working conditions in platform work, aimed at helping businesses and professionals understand the Directive’s core obligations and operational impact.
The rise of digital labour platforms has fundamentally reshaped how work is organised and managed across sectors. In response, the EU has introduced a harmonised regulatory framework addressing key issues such as employment classification, algorithmic management, transparency obligations, and enforcement mechanisms. The Directive also introduces significant requirements relating to automated decision-making, human oversight, and data protection safeguards.
Our guide provides a clear and structured overview of the Directive’s main provisions, including the presumption of employment, the regulation of automated monitoring and decision-making systems, transparency obligations towards individuals and authorities, and health and safety considerations linked to app-based management. It also highlights practical implications for businesses operating in Cyprus or targeting the Cypriot market ahead of the transposition deadline of 2 December 2026.
