Abstract
This volume aims to offer a retrospective look into the implementation of some non-standard forms of employment (NSFE) in selected Central and Eastern European countries. It captures independent critical views on national regulations and their enforcement of temporary and part-time work, temporary agency work, disguised employment relationships and “simplified” employment.The chapters examine the level and adequacy of legal and social protection of workers in NSFE, good practice in regulating NSFE through collective bargaining, legal and case law tests for determining the existence of the employment relationship and the link between NSFE and informality, among others.A number of conclusions are drawn on how national policy and regulatory efforts have materialized into good practice and the extent to which they fulfilled the stated policy goals.
