Overview

• The Bill replaces the May ordinance and makes platform companies responsible for social security, occupational health and safety of gig workers.
• It establishes a Gig Workers’ Welfare Board and dedicated fund, mandates registration of workers and aggregators, and creates a dispute resolution mechanism.
• Funding will come primarily from a 1%–5% fee on each payout to workers, with category-specific slabs to be set in forthcoming rules.
• Safeguards include a requirement of 14 days’ notice with written reasons before termination, plus oversight of working conditions including potential health cards and safety gear.
• The law spans eight aggregator service categories from ride-sharing and food and grocery delivery to logistics, e-marketplaces, professional services, healthcare, travel and hospitality, and content and media, while capping administrative use of the fund at 5%.
