How to eSign a document: eSignature lawfulness for Vacation Policy in European Union

our last story tonight is about gig workers your delivery Riders your Uber drivers they fuel a multi-billion dollar economy but the conditions they work in are often a problem plus there is no one set of rules usually they're at the mercy of their company so Europe has come up with a solution a new legislation it's a historic deal for the European Union once approved gig workers will be reclassified they can be registered as full-time employees it would mean a higher pay and labor rights like insurance and other protections so will this change Europe's gig economy our next report explores the European Union has finally reached a deal a deal that could change the life of 5.5 million workers people who deliver food people who offer rides people laboring on digital platform platforms people who fuel the gig economy for years they haven't had conventional workers rights but that could change soon it's called the platform worker directive the plan came originally in December 2021 it was to boost protections for Gig workers the EU muled on it for some time and it looks like after 2 years they've reached a consensus a bid to stop the gig economy exploitation if approved it could reclassify them as full-time employees that means many things such as a minimum wage paid leave and unemployment benefits also there will be transparency platforms will have to tell workers if they're being monitored or even managed by algorithms the EU says these 5.5 million workers are not gig workers but permanent employees so they must have the benefits the companies however disagree digital platforms have a problem with this the likes of uber and delu they say workers have full autonomy and flexibility they can work whenever they like which doesn't make them permanent employees but the EU is not buying their claims will this help revamp the gig economy the deal is meant to clean up the gray areas the ones that exist between these platforms and their employees the gray area of legislation it would clear up the employment status of millions give them Insurance give them rights and save them from abuse but for companies it will be a costly exercise they will have to spend billions for these rights which is why they are likely to challenge it either way member states too need to sign up for it which means this could take some time on paper it's a historic deal but there could be some compromise in the coming days especially with companies fighting back
