In Estonia, as in every European Union country, work is underway on the implementation of the Platform Work Directive. The Wolt Platform has expressed its opposition to the legal solutions proposed by the government.
Firstly, Wolt opposes the ban on collecting data on employees’ emotional states, their private communications, and the collection of data during their free time.
Secondly, Wolt also believes that the mere payment of social security contributions or other wage insurance by the Platform for individuals working as Suppliers should not in itself constitute a basis for presuming the existence of an employment relationship.
Thirdly, the Platform wants to remove the provision that makes it easier for Suppliers to pursue claims before labor dispute boards or courts. The current draft assumes that Suppliers only need to present factual circumstances to demand recognition of an employment contract, which the company believes is too far-reaching. Fourth, Wolt is demanding the removal of the requirement to inform Suppliers in real time about whether their location is being tracked, whether task speed is being measured, and whether customer reviews are being automatically analyzed.
These comments are, of course, part of the normal implementation process of the new law. Each party has the right to submit their comments. But remember them the next time you receive a message in the app: “We care about you!”
