Abstract

There have been a lot of discussions on the platform workers as platform economy is being rapidly increased. Among them, there is little discussion about legal Status of platform workers as employees under the Labor Standard Act. The purpose of this paper is to examine legal status of platform workers. And through that, I try to propose some ideas to apply the Labor Standard Act to platform workers.<BR> To provide appropriate legal protection for platform workers, it is necessary to prevent platform enterprises from avoiding their responsibilities by misclassification of platform workers. To avoid misclassification, I suggest, the burden of proof to determine whether platform workers are employees under the Labor Standards Act should be shifted from platform workers to enterprises which uses them.
