"This article investigates several areas of social protection, which are dependent on typical features of standard employment contracts in a number of countries and consequently inaccessible for atypical categories. A comparative overview of European legal orders should provide an idea of the possibilities, expected gains and drawbacks of severing the ties between benefits and individual employers, with a view to extending protection to atypical contractual relationships."
