&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;There is a strong case to attribute a more robust responsibility to platform companies and the State&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Code on Social Security Bill, 2020, for the first time in Indian law, attempted to define &amp;lsquo;platform work&amp;rsquo; outside of the traditional employment category. It says: &amp;ldquo;Platform work means a work arrangement outside of a traditional employer-employee relationship in which organisations or individuals use an online platform to access other organisations or individuals to solve specific problems or to provide specific services or any such other activities which may be notified by the Central Government, in exchange for payment.&amp;rdquo; While the long overdue move to recognise platform work has been made, the Code has drawn criticism from platform workers&amp;rsquo; associations for failing to delineate it from gig work and unorganised work. A categorical clarification could ensure that social security measures are provided to workers without compromising the touted qualities of platform work: flexibility and a sense of ownership.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;An ongoing global conversation on platform workers&amp;rsquo; rights has been around the misclassification of platform workers as &amp;lsquo;independent contractors&amp;rsquo;; adjudications and emerging amendments to labour laws in Ontario and California have shown a move towards granting employee status to platform workers, thus guaranteeing minimum wage and welfare benefits. This is the view propagated by international agencies in the EU, including the European Trade Union.&lt;/p&gt;

A secure future for platform workers -Lakshmee Sharma

-The Hindu There is a strong case to attribute a more robust responsibility to platform companies and the State The Code on Social Security Bill, 2020, for the first time in Indian law, attempted to define ‘platform work’ outside of the traditional employment category. It says: “Platform work means a work arrangement outside of a traditional employer-employee relationship in which organisations or individuals use an online platform to access other organisations or individuals to solve specific problems or to provide specific services or any such other activities which may be notified by the Central Government, in exchange for payment.” While the long overdue move to recognise platform work has been made, the Code has drawn criticism from platform workers’ associations for failing to delineate it from gig work and unorganised work. A categorical clarification could ensure that social security measures are provided to workers without compromising the touted qualities of platform work: flexibility and a sense of ownership. An ongoing global conversation on platform workers’ rights has been around the misclassification of platform workers as ‘independent contractors’; adjudications and emerging amendments to labour laws in Ontario and California have shown a move towards granting employee status to platform workers, thus guaranteeing minimum wage and welfare benefits. This is the view propagated by international agencies in the EU, including the European Trade Union. Please click here to read more.
