After reconstructing the complex evolution of ancillary work's regulation, the article deals with the new discipline of occasional work, tackling first of all the issue of its legal nature. The Author believes that occasional work is a subordinate employment relationship and examines the reasonableness of a legal framework that simplifies the discipline of it compared to that of standard work.
