„Angajatorul” – un concept european uniform?

Rezumat

The emergence of new forms of contractual arrangements and the growth of multilateral employment relationships challenge the traditional approach to the individual employment contract and the classic identifiers of the parties to the employment relationship. While the Court of Justice of the European Union has often ruled on the criteria for identifying the “worker”, it has not made the same request for identifying the “employer”. Starting from a recent CJEU case in which the autonomous and uniform character of the concept of “employer” was questioned, this study aims to capture the European definitions and meanings of the concept in European case law. The debate remains open, however, as the CJEU is expected to confirm or deny developments in this area against the background of the new contractual arrangements.
