Abstract
This article tackles the main key factors of the provision of services through the so-called
on-demand platforms, from a continental labor law perspective. This kind of platforms
do not define a unique model of relationships or provision of services’ requirements.
However, the following pages analyze the minimum common denominator elements
underlying in the new economy, which entail an unquestionably significant challenge for
our legal labor institutions: the company’s digitalization and consequent company
dematerialization; the relevance of software to the company’s activity and decision-
making; the services provider’s dependence and freedom to connect; or the incentive-
based mana gerial power. The author highlights the position of France, which has been
the first country to establish specific conditions for services providers through electronic
platforms, a nd concludes by proposing an a lternative to deal with this issue from our
legal rea lity.
