The decree law transposing European Union Directive 2019/1152, which was published in Italy's official gazette on 29 July and came into force on 13 August, requires Italian companies to make significant adjustments and forces platforms, such as meal delivery platforms, to disclose how their algorithms function. A circular from the country's labour inspectorate dated 10 August provides details on how the new rules will be implemented, indicating for example that employers can refer workers to collective agreements for certain information.
Decree law 104/2022 (see articles n°13137 and 13002) applies not only to employees on fixed-term and open-ended contracts, but above all to the whole “grey area” between salaried employment and self-employment: for example, temporary workers, casual workers, so-called contracts for “continuative and coordinated services”, occasional services and platform workers. They will be entitled to detailed information, communicated “in a clear and transparent manner” in paper or electronic format.
