Food delivery companies based in Spain have three months to employ their couriers as staff under new rules approved on Tuesday by the government, one of the first laws in Europe regarding gig-economy workers’ rights.
The decree aims to clarify the legal situation of thousands of riders after Spain’s Supreme Court ruled last year that companies must hire them as employees.
“The regulation approved today … places us at the forefront of a technological change that cannot leave labour rights behind,” Labour Minister Yolanda Diaz said.
