Employment Law: The Gig Economy at Coursera Course details
- This course seeks to clear up misconceptions about gig workers through an examination of various legal cases, examining grey areas of the law and also providing possible alternatives
- We begin by examining how the gig economy is defined in terms of the relationships between employer, employee, and consumer, and we then examine how the gig economy is defined legally
- We also explore how gig work classification has evolved over time through various court rulings
- We will then determine the areas where court precedents have still fallen short in the coverage of worker protections offered to other employee statuses but not to gig workers
- Finally, we will propose alternative solutions to gig worker classification that would increase worker benefits among other protections
