Workers employed in the gig economy may soon be eligible for insurance benefits provided by the state-run Employees&rsquo; State Insurance Corporation (ESIC).

The government has made an enabling provision in the code to provide insurance cover, under the ESI schemes, to gig, platform and plantation workers. This is the first time such workers will be covered under India&rsquo;s social security law. Gig workers are usually spoken of in the context of the sharing economy, like Uber, Ola drivers, delivery persons for Zomato and Swiggy and so on. Essentially, these are jobs enabled by a tech enabled platform where the worker is not bound to the organisation and can choose to work for as long they want in a stint.<br />

The government has made an enabling provision in the code to provide insurance cover, under the ESI schemes, to gig, platform and plantation workers. This is the first time such workers will be covered under India&rsquo;s social security law.

Essentially, these are jobs enabled by a tech enabled platform where the worker is not bound to the organisation and can choose to work for as long they want in a stint.<br />

Workers employed in the gig economy may soon be eligible for insurance benefits provided by the state-run Employees&rsquo; State Insurance Corporation (ESIC).

The government has made an enabling provision in the code to provide insurance cover, under the ESI schemes, to gig, platform and plantation workers. This is the first time such workers will be covered under India&rsquo;s social security law. Gig workers are usually spoken of in the context of the sharing economy, like Uber, Ola drivers, delivery persons for Zomato and Swiggy and so on. Essentially, these are jobs enabled by a tech enabled platform where the worker is not bound to the organisation and can choose to work for as long they want in a stint.<br />

ESIC may cover gig economy workers as part of new Social Security Code Bill -Somesh Jha
-Business Standard
The government has made an enabling provision in the code to provide insurance cover, under the ESI schemes, to gig, platform and plantation workers
Workers employed in the gig economy may soon be eligible for insurance benefits provided by the state-run Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC). The move is a part of the Social Security Code Bill, 2019 approved by the Union Cabinet on Wednesday. The Code has also proposed covering plantation workers under the ESIC for the first time.
The government has made an enabling provision in the code to provide insurance cover, under the ESI schemes, to gig, platform and plantation workers. This is the first time such workers will be covered under India’s social security law. Gig workers are usually spoken of in the context of the sharing economy, like Uber, Ola drivers, delivery persons for Zomato and Swiggy and so on. Essentially, these are jobs enabled by a tech enabled platform where the worker is not bound to the organisation and can choose to work for as long they want in a stint.
