The European Parliament's Employment Committee has approved a set of minimum rights for on-demand workers. The initial draft of the rules requires employers to inform workers in writing about essential aspects of their contract at its outset, such as duration, training and basic salary. Workers would also be given protection against negative consequences from turning down shifts outside of predetermined hours, and against overly long probationary periods. The regulations will also prevent an employer prohibiting workers from taking other jobs. MEPs said the rules were designed to balance security and flexibility.
