The trap of gig contracts: why IT workers themselves ask for a transition

The Ukrainian market has been operating in a full-scale war for five years, and the IT industry is no exception. If earlier the choice of a cooperation model between an individual entrepreneur, a gig contract, or a staff was mostly a matter of taxes and flexibility, today it also determines the legal status of a specialist during mobilization. There is still a misconception on the market that a gig contract gives the right to an official deferral for a specialist, but in fact it does not provide for such guarantees, since it is of a civil law, not a labor nature. As a result, a paradoxical situation arises: some IT specialists who previously chose flexible models of cooperation are now asking to be transferred to the staff under the Labor Code. What is the difference between a gig contract and an employment contract, what are the nuances of working on a staff, and how are companies changing the model of cooperation with teams today? Let’s figure it out in order.
