Usually in this kind of ecosystem insurance is very limited. Hiring a writer, artist, or programmer requires no insurance – they either get the job done, or simply don’t. While some jobs for instance, a driver may need some insurance in place to be able to go about his business in a legal manner. While a few platforms offer some sort of coverage for freelancers, the blurring of lines between being at work and at home has rendered traditional insurance models nearly impractical.
With no protection and benefits from the tradition terms of employment, the freelance worker often is left in the dark, being exploited by the corporate decision making due to the absence of an organized collective to backup their demand.
Vox Populi, Vox Dei — latin for the “voice of the people is the voice of god” :
“This is the power of democracy. For any democratic institution to survive, it must not only listen to the people, but also agree to their demands — or reach a compromise. Without the voice of the people, there can be no democracy. Without democracy, our freedom and rights become the whim of a central authority to do as they will.”
Using geolocation and smart contracts, the ConnectJob network allows users from anywhere in the world to engage professional and skilled jobbers in their local region or offer their services as one. Every engagement is backed by smart contract and each smart contract has been integrated with the local work insurance laws.
The ConnectJob CMO stated that:
“The insurance model will work according to local work insurance laws. For example in India we will work with a local blockchain-based insurance company that is endorsing the local regulation. In Dubai, same but with different laws. Every signed jobber will be covered by ConnectJob 100%, for all kind of purposes”
