LCQ22: Protecting digital platform workersÂ
(3) Digital platform service is a newly-developed economic operation model which changes rapidly. The relationship between a platform company and a DPW cannot be easily defined with reference to that of an ordinary employer-employee relationship. The Government’s overriding mission at present is to take forward the legislative proposal at full steam to improve the WIC mechanism for DPWs for enhancing their protection. The Government will continue to make good use of the Tripartite Committee to explore other issues of platform work which are of common concern to the stakeholders.
