Back in 2024, in a message to the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, the President of the Russian Federation highlighted the strategic priority of developing digital platforms in all key sectors of the country by 2030. Platformization proved to be relevant, effective and, consequently, highly demanded in all areas, including employment. According to experts, the Federal Law “On Employment in the Russian Federation” dated December 12, 2023, No. 565-FZ required revision to eliminate certain vulnerabilities. However, the legislators took a different course and adopted the law in question. In this article, the author carries out a brief review of the legal framework governing platform employment under the adopted law, taking into account current scientific concepts of platform employment. The research was conducted using available sources of information about platform employment, legislative acts, and publications in professional media. Legal norms were examined using the formal-legal method of analysis. The systems method was applied to generalize the academic doctrine and to assess the concepts introduced into the law in view of established perspectives within the field and legislative drafting practices. Among the positive aspects of the legislation under analysis are the introduction of a conceptual framework, including the notion of a “partner of an intermediary digital platform,” the classification of partners, the possibility of rating parties, and clarification of their rights and duties. At the same time, the text of the law does not provide a sufficiently clear classification of platforms, which represents a shortcoming of the reform. In conclusion, the author notes a positive trajectory in the development of legislation on platform employment and emphasized the need to adopt subordinate regulatory acts to further develop this institution. </p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Последний день июля 2025 года ознаменовался принятием Федерального закона «Об отдельных вопросах регулирования платформенной экономики в Российской Федерации» № 289-ФЗ. Это было ожидаемо и давно назрело. Еще в 2024 г. в послании Федеральному Собранию РФ Президент РФ объявил, что к 2030 г. во всех ключевых отраслях жизнедеятельности страны должны быть созданы цифровые платформы. Платформизация оказалась актуальной, эффективной и, соответственно, востребованной во всех сферах. Не стала исключением и занятость населения. Для устранения уязвимостей, по мнению экспертного сообщества, необходима была новая редакция Федерального закона «О занятости населения в Российской Федерации» от 12 декабря 2023 г. № 565-ФЗ. Но законодатели пошли другим путем, приняв рассматриваемый закон. Основной целью исследования видится краткий обзор правового режима платформенной занятости в контексте законодательной новеллы исходя из сложившихся в настоящий момент научных представлений о концепции платформенной занятости. Исследование базируется на доступных доктринальных источниках о платформенной занятости, релевантных законодательных актах и публикациях в профессиональных СМИ. В исследовании использован формально-юридический метод — для толкования норм, а также системный метод для обобщения научной доктрины и оценки введенных в закон понятий с точки зрения сложившихся представлений об области и техники законотворчества. Сделан вывод, что к положительным аспектам данного регулирования следует отнести введение понятийного аппарата, например «партнер посреднической цифровой платформы», установление классификации партнеров, возможность рейтингования сторон, а также уточнение их прав и обязанностей. Вместе с тем в тексте закона недостаточно четко прослеживается классификация платформ, и это представляется недостатком реформы. В заключение автор отмечает положительный вектор развития законодательства о платформенной занятости и указывает на необходимость принятия подзаконных нормативных правовых актов в развитие данного института. </p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>платформа</kwd><kwd>платформенная занятость</kwd><kwd>платформизация</kwd><kwd>платформенная экономика</kwd><kwd>платформенный занятый</kwd><kwd>платформенные работники</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>platform</kwd><kwd>platform employment</kwd><kwd>platformization</kwd><kwd>platform economy</kwd><kwd>platform employees</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Bazzhina, V.
