Abstract
This study analyzes the principles of international legal regulation of online labor and their distinguishing features from traditional forms of employment, with a particular focus on their applicability and relevance to Kazakhstan. The paper examines key aspects of online labor regulation, including fair treatment, non-discrimination, occupational safety, the right to association, confidentiality and data protection, as well as the challenges of classifying digital platform workers. The research highlights the transnational nature of online labor and the jurisdictional challenges that arise as a result. The research methodology is based on a comprehensive analysis of international legal norms, academic literature, and law enforcement practice. The findings of the study indicate the need to adapt existing legal regulatory mechanisms to the specific requirements of the digital economy, as well as to develop new and innovative approaches to the legal regulation of online labor relations in Kazakhstan. The research results make it possible to formulate a set of concrete recommendations aimed at further improving the labor legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan, taking into account international principles and best practices in the field of legal regulation of online labor relations.
