Overview
- The bill, approved in the Senate with media sanción, creates the legal category of independent platform provider and explicitly rules out an employment relationship with apps such as Rappi, PedidosYa, Uber and Cabify.
- Workers gain operational rights including freedom to connect to multiple apps, choose hours, accept or reject orders, pick their vehicle, disconnect without prior notice, select operating zones and routes, keep 100% of tips, and port their data.
- Platforms must provide personal‑accident insurance covering death, permanent disability and medical expenses, fund free safety and digital training, offer human support channels, and clearly explain account suspensions or access limits.
- Companies are required to disclose algorithmic criteria used for categorization, give sufficient information before task acceptance, maintain simple digital complaint mechanisms, and facilitate access to road‑safety equipment.
- Independent providers must register for taxes, make social‑security contributions to access the PBU and disability or survivor pensions, supply a CBU or CVU for payments, comply with traffic laws, and be the user‑account holder, as the bill now moves to the Chamber of Deputies.
