Social security coverage for platform workers in Switzerland: A middle way?
| Résumé |
This article compares social security coverage for the self-employed
and for employees on digital platforms in Switzerland. It sheds
light on the particularities that have acted to slow down the
evolution of Swiss social legislation to the new emerging forms of
work, and summarizes the solutions provided by case law. These
solutions are still being fine-tuned, but lean towards the
reclassification of contracts as salaried work. Finally, despite
the hesitance of the Swiss authorities to take political steps to
encourage these new forms of work, which offer significant economic
potential, and while also seeking to prevent the risk of precarity
in work, we discuss the options available. |
