What this law does
Under Article 221.d(1) of the Labour Act, a digital labour platform or aggregator is the employer of a worker who performs work personally through a digital labour platform. Article 221.g(1) binds that employer where it uses digital technology and infrastructure in an automated management system based on algorithms. The employer must inform the worker of the organisation of the platform's work and of how decisions are made in the automated management system.
The employer must appoint an authorised person who reviews, at the worker's request, decisions made in the automated management system and who decides on them. Article 221.g(2) requires the employer to let the worker learn, before work begins, how tasks will be assigned, how the worker will be monitored and how the work will be evaluated. Article 221.g(5) requires the employer to make the data relating to those duties available to the worker on request.
Article 221.h(1) requires the employer to assess the risks of the work and their effect on the safety and health of platform workers. Under Article 221.h(2) the employer may not allow a work intensity that endangers the physical or mental health of a platform worker.
Under Article 221.i(1) a worker who considers that a decision made in the automated management system has violated a right arising from employment may ask the employer for protection of the right, a written explanation and a review of the decision.
