The relationship between a platform and a person performing platform work through it is legally presumed to be employment where facts indicating direction and control are found under national law, collective agreements or practice; a platform that seeks to rebut the presumption must prove the relationship is not employment. The presumption applies in all relevant administrative or judicial proceedings (not tax, criminal or social security unless national law so provides), persons and their representatives may initiate proceedings, a competent authority that suspects misclassification must act, and for relationships ongoing on 2 December 2026 it applies only from that date.
