The current stage of society's development is characterized by rapid digitalization, covering all spheres of life, including labor relations. In the digital economy, new forms of employment are emerging, such as remote work, hybrid employment, freelancing, platform work, and other manifestations of the "gig economy." On the one hand, these processes open up new opportunities for employees and employers, increasing the flexibility and accessibility of the labor market, but on the other hand, they create a whole range of problems related to ensuring and protecting labor rights. The lack of a clear legal status for digital platform workers, limited access to social guarantees, the risk of discrimination in algorithmic labor management, and threats to privacy pose new challenges to legal regulation. The results of the study show the need to adapt the labor legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan to the new digital realities. In particular, it requires the regulatory consolidation of the status of employees of digital platforms, the development of the institution of an electronic employment contract, the introduction of legal guarantees for the transparency of algorithmic control, as well as the expansion of social protection regardless of the form of employment. The conclusions emphasize that legal regulation should be based on the principles of flexibility, fairness and technological neutrality. At the same time, the development of digital jurisprudence, the introduction of electronic labor dispute resolution services, and the integration of international standards can become key tools for protecting workers' rights in the digital age
