Key points

The directive introduces a legal presumption that platform workers are employees if the platform exercises control and direction over their work.
Digital platforms must provide transparency regarding how automated systems monitor, supervise, or evaluate work performance.
Significant decisions, such as suspending an account or terminating a contract, must be made by humans rather than purely automated systems.
Member States are required to implement these rules within two years of the directive entering into force.
