Frequently Asked Questions on Employment, Labor Rights & Social Policy Regulations
What does the EU Platform Work Directive establish?
The Platform Work Directive introduces a legal presumption of employment for digital platform workers meeting indicators of control and direction, regulates algorithmic management in the workplace, and bans automated decision-making on biometric or emotional data.
What obligations does the EU Pay Transparency Directive (2023/970) impose on employers?
Directive (EU) 2023/970 requires employers to share salary ranges in job vacancies, bans asking applicants about pay history, grants employees the right to request gender-disaggregated pay information, and mandates mandatory gender pay gap reporting with joint pay assessments where gaps exceed 5%.
What is the Adequate Minimum Wages Directive (EU) 2022/2041?
The Directive does not mandate a specific minimum wage level but requires Member States with statutory minimum wages to establish clear, stable criteria for setting and updating them (using reference values such as 60% of gross median wage or 50% of gross average wage), ensure effective enforcement and monitoring, promote collective bargaining coverage toward an 80% target, and guarantee worker access to dispute resolution.
What occupational safety and health (OSH) directives protect EU workers from hazardous substances?
The Carcinogens, Mutagens and Reprotoxic Substances Directive (2004/37/EC, as amended by Directives 2022/431 and 2024/869) sets binding Occupational Exposure Limits (OELs) for carcinogens and mutagens in the workplace, now covering reprotoxic substances. The Chemical Agents Directive (98/24/EC) sets indicative OELs for other hazardous chemicals. The asbestos at work directive revision lowered the OEL to 0.002 fibres/cm³.
