"The essay investigates not the traditional forms of non-standard employment, but that special working arrangements, that may involve very short hours ("marginal" or "on casual basis" part time) or no predictable fixed hours, when the employer has no obligation to provide a set number of hours of work. These arrangements, known as "on-call work", come under different contractual forms depending on the country and include so-called "zero-hours contracts". The essay checks whether such special forms could play a role in combating unemployment, by preventing the complete expulsion of workers from the labor market and verifyes whether it is possible to coordinate different jobs for a worker to have a decent life guarenteed."

"The European Union competences on health and safety of workplace constituted the legal basis for the 93/104 Directive to be adopted (and for the consolidated text of 2003/88 Directive). The Court of Justice has firmly maintained this approach refusing to take into account the history of international regulation on working time, which links together work and salary in perspective to give the workers the right to fair and equal treatment as regards their working conditions (as has been recently proclaimed also by the European Pillar of Social Rights). Building on these general premises, this article analyses the more recent European pieces of legislation and cases related to on-call time and proposes a new model for the definition of working time in the light of CJEU case law."
