Online Platforms and Platform Work Norway Legally binding definition of online platforms Specific register of online platforms Specific regulation applicable to online platforms Online platforms are considered to be employers There is currently no consensus on whether online platform companies are to be consi­dered employers in Norway. According to Norwegian labour law, employment sta­tus is to be determined on a case-by-case basis. Platform companies vary in terms of the extent to which workers are dependent on, and subordinated to, the companies, the core criteria for determining employment status in Norwegian labour law. Norwegians have access to more than 40 remote work platforms operating in Norway. Between 0.5 and 1% of the population of working age are registered for work with the Foodora platform, whereas only 0.05% are registered for the Upwork platform. Qualitative case studies of the food delivery and transport platforms reveal that many workers are either migrants struggling to find decent work in Norway, or students working part-time. NOK 344,000,000 Foodora is the most popular and largest platform operating in Norway. The platform operates in 20 cities and cooperates with more than 2000 restaurants across the country. In 2020, Foodora attained NOK 344 million in sales revenue. In 2018, Foodora, which was owned back then by Delivery Hero, was acquired by the Dutch food delivery group Takeaway.com.
