Analysis of Regulatory Impact:
The legislation and potential regulations will have a very positive impact on digital platform workers by increasing transparency, affirming the need to pay at least minimum wage (as established under the ESA), and ensuring these workers are protected from reprisal, uninformed termination (aside from when exceptions apply), and more.
From a business perspective, there might be minimal administrative costs for coming into compliance (i.e., learning about the legislation and regulation, updating processes, etc.). The extent and nature of new costs may vary depending on existing operational practices and arrangements between individual operators and workers. Operators that have already implemented transparent app processes, and pay their workers minimum wage, are not expected to incur any substantive costs.
