6  References to modification of access to digital labour platform

  A reference in this instrument to the modification of an employee‑like worker’s access to a digital labour platform means a modification of access having the result that the worker is deactivated from the platform within the meaning of section 536LG of the Act.

Part 2—Code process for deactivation

Division 1—Application of code process

7  When code process for deactivation must be followed

 (1) To be taken to comply with this instrument, a digital labour platform operator must follow the code process in relation to the proposed deactivation of an employee‑like worker, who is protected from unfair deactivation, from a digital labour platform if:

 (a) the operator is considering deactivating the worker from the platform; and

 (b) the reason for the deactivation is:

 (i) subject to subsection (2), a matter related to the worker’s conduct in performing work through or by means of the platform; or

 (ii) a matter related to the worker’s capacity to perform work through or by means of the platform.

Note 1: To be protected from unfair deactivation from a digital labour platform, an employee‑like worker must have performed work through or by means of the platform on a regular basis for at least 6 months (see paragraph 536LD(c) of the Act).

Note 2: For circumstances in which work is performed on a regular basis, see section 18.

 (2) The code process does not apply to the deactivation of an employee‑like worker by a digital labour platform operator for serious misconduct by the worker.

Note 1: A deactivation that occurs because of serious misconduct of the person who is deactivated is not unfair (see subsection 536LH(2) of the Act).

Note 2: Serious misconduct has the meaning prescribed by the regulations (see section 12 of the Act).

Note 3: Subsections 536LH(3) and (4) of the Act also provide that certain short‑term deactivations are not unfair.

Division 2—Deactivation warnings

8  Deactivation warning generally required before deactivation

 (1) Before deactivating an employee‑like worker from a digital labour platform, a digital labour platform operator must give the worker a notice in writing (the deactivation warning) stating that the worker risks being deactivated from the platform for a reason related to the worker’s conduct or capacity.

 (2) The deactivation warning must:

 (a) specify the reason, relating to the employee‑like worker’s conduct or capacity, for which it is given; and

 (b) state that the worker risks being deactivated from the digital labour platform if:

 (i) the worker does not, within a reasonable time, remedy the matters that are the subject of the warning; or

 (ii) the reason for giving the warning continues or is repeated; or

 (iii) another issue, relating to the worker’s conduct or capacity, arises; and

 (c) state that the worker may seek assistance or support from a person (other than a lawyer acting in a professional capacity), who may be a delegate or an employee of an organisation, in relation to the deactivation warning.

Note 1: For organisation in paragraph (c), see section 12 of the Act.

Note 2: The worker may also appoint a person to provide the worker with support or representation (see section 16).

 (3) Subject to subsection (4), the deactivation warning must include sufficient information to enable a reasonable person in the position of the employee‑like worker to understand the matters mentioned in subsection (2).

Note: In giving a deactivation warning, a digital labour platform operator is not required to disclose information about an individual if the operator considers, on reasonable grounds, that the disclosure may pose a risk to the safety or security of the individual (see section 17).

 (4) To the extent that the reason for which the warning is given relates to allegations of sexual harassment, the deactivation warning need only include the following information about the reason in relation to each allegation:

 (a) information specifying that an allegation of sexual harassment has been made; and

 (b) information setting out the general nature of the conduct alleged.

9  Exception—circumstances when deactivation warning not required

 (1) Despite section 8, a digital labour platform operator is not required to give an employee‑like worker a deactivation warning before deactivating, under Division 3, the worker if the operator considers on reasonable grounds that the matter relating to the worker’s conduct or capacity is such that:

 (a) it warrants immediate modification or suspension of the worker’s access to the digital labour platform; or

 (b) it is not reasonable to expect the operator to allow the worker to continue to perform work through or by means of the platform.

Note: The following are examples of when subsection (1) might apply:

(a) immediate suspension of an employee‑like worker is required for health or safety reasons;

(b) an employee‑like worker loses a licence or accreditation and, as a result, has no legal right to perform the work;

(c) an employee‑like worker engages in fraudulent or dishonest conduct;

(d) an employee‑like worker’s conduct is or will be referred to a law enforcement or regulatory agency.

 (2) For the purposes of subsection (1), one or more reports or complaints made to the digital labour platform operator may constitute reasonable grounds for the operator’s opinion about the employee‑like worker’s conduct or capacity.

 (3) Subsection (2) does not limit the matters that may constitute reasonable grounds for such an opinion.

Division 3—Process for deactivation

10  Application of Division

  This Division applies if:

 (a) a digital labour platform operator is, under section 9, not required to give an employee‑like worker a deactivation warning before deactivating the worker; or

 (b) a digital labour platform operator has given an employee‑like worker a deactivation warning and the operator considers, on reasonable grounds, that deactivation of the worker is justified because:

 (i) the worker has not, within a reasonable time, remedied the matters that were the subject of the warning; or

 (ii) the reason for giving the warning has continued or been repeated; or

 (iii) another issue, relating to the worker’s conduct or capacity, has arisen.
