Overview

The ILO (2021) distinguishes location-based (delivery, driving, care) and web-based platform work. Algorithmic management of allocation, pay, ratings and deactivation raises control concerns, and employment status depends on the substance of the relationship. Korea extended employment insurance (2022) and industrial accident insurance to “labour providers” (July 2023); the EU adopted a platform work directive in 2024.

This article is general information based on Korean statutes and case law, not legal advice. For a specific case, consult a lawyer or the Korea Legal Aid Corporation (132). Check law.go.kr for current law.
