Workers' House Calls for Platform Workers' Social Security
The article focused on the necessity of classifying workers in transportation and delivery applications within a clear legal framework that defines the employment relationship and includes them under social security coverage, rather than treating them as independent contractors. It emphasized that the employment relationship is characterized by supervision and management from the platform through algorithmic systems, which gives the platform control over service prices, tasks, and performance evaluations—elements that reflect an actual employer-employee relationship. The article also clarified that international and Arab labor laws stipulate that these workers should be classified as employees with full rights, including social coverage. It pointed out that electronically linking data with the social security institution enables accurate calculation of contributions, and that consolidating income from multiple platforms into a single insurance account is feasible. Furthermore, the center called for legal and regulatory arrangements for social security for workers on these platforms to be based on clearly identifying the actual relationship, with obligations imposed on platforms to register workers and calculate contributions in a way that balances workers' rights and costs, thereby ensuring the protection of their social rights.
