Abstract

This contribution focuses on the benefits and limitations of introducing a rebuttable legal presumption in EU labour law as an evidentiary means to improve the working conditions of platform workers. In doing so, I will, first, offer some remarks on rebuttable legal presumptions in general, while also offering some comparative legal insights (section 2.), before exploring their potential benefits and limitations in the context of EU labour law in general and platform work in particular (section 3.). This is followed by an analysis of how such a presumption could be integrated in the current EU social acquis (section 4.).

Keywords: platform workers, rebuttable presumption, EU perspective
