Paradigm of subordinate work versus remote work
Paradigm of subordinate work versus remote work

Summary/Abstract: The paradigm of subordinate work already emerged in the early stages of the development of labour law and is still functioning to this day, which is widely accepted both in labour law doctrine and in judicial practice. The author assesses the timeliness of the traditional paradigm of subordinate work in conditions of development of new technologies and the spread of modern forms of work provision, doing so on the example of remote work. According to the author, despite working outside the workplace, while retaining much greater autonomy, in addition to the constant supervision of the employer, the remote worker is still subject to a multifaceted dependence on the employer. This means that the paradigm of subordinate work continues to apply and is strongly present also in atypical forms of work.
