Recital 44

In addition to the requirements laid down in Regulation (EU) 2016/679, digital labour platforms should be subject to transparency and information obligations in relation to automated monitoring systems and automated systems which are used to take or support decisions that affect persons performing platform work, including the working conditions of platform workers, such as their recruitment, their access to and the organisation of work assignments, their earnings, their safety and health, their working time, their access to training, their promotion or its equivalent, and their contractual status, including the restriction, suspension or termination of their account. The type and form of information that is to be provided to persons performing platform work regarding such automated systems, as well as the timing of its provision, should be specified. Individual platform workers should receive that information in a concise, simple and understandable form, in so far as the systems and their features directly affect them and, where applicable, their working conditions, so that they are effectively informed. They should also have the right to request comprehensive and detailed information about all relevant systems. Comprehensive and detailed information regarding such automated systems should also be provided to representatives of persons performing platform work, as well as to national competent authorities upon their request, in order to enable them to exercise their functions.
