New rules to give gig economy workers the same rights as those in full employment can stop “distortions” in other emerging parts of the digital economy, according to Brussels' top official for jobs.
欧盟负责就业事务的最高官员表示,给予零工经济劳动者与充分就业者同等权利的新规定,可以阻止数字经济其他新兴领域的“扭曲”。
Nicolas Schmit, the EU's commissioner for jobs and social rights, told the Financial Times that companies such as Uber and Deliveroo must be constrained by tougher rules and that this would also rein in future “platform” employment models.
欧盟就业和社会权利专员尼古拉·施密特表示,Uber和Deliveroo等公司必须受到更严格的规则约束,这也将制约未来的“平台”雇佣模式。
The European Commission is due to publish draft legislation on Thursday that will place the onus on digital platforms to prove that those working using the platform — such as drivers — are self-employed. Under the new draft proposals if a person meets at least two criteria, including whether a platform determines their level of pay or supervises their work, then they will be automatically classified as workers.
欧盟委员会将于周四公布立法草案,该草案将要求数字平台证明使用该平台工作的人(如司机)是个体经营者。根据新的建议草案,如果一个人符合至少两个标准,包括平台是否决定他们的工资水平或监督他们的工作,那么他们将被自动归类为雇员。
