The Hon’ble Karnataka government has unveiled a landmark bill aimed at safeguarding the rights and well-being of platform-based gig workers. The Karnataka Platform-Based Gig Workers Bill 2024, currently making its way through the state assembly, promises to usher in a new era of social security and welfare measures for this burgeoning workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike previous attempts, the Karnataka bill is poised to implement a unique approach by imposing a cess on customers rather than app-based platforms. This innovative strategy ensures that the burden of supporting gig workers is shared equitably, promoting a more sustainable and balanced ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Karnataka, home to a substantial gig workforce, has taken a proactive stance in addressing the challenges faced by this segment. While the final shape of the bill is yet to be determined, its introduction marks a significant step towards creating a more secure and equitable future for gig workers in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the bill progresses through the legislative process, we will continue to provide updates on its key provisions and potential impact. Stay tuned for further developments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
