CCTV, Beijing, August 18 (Reporter Liu Baixuan) According to a report by the Voice of Economy of China Central Radio and Television, “Tianxia Finance”, the protection of related rights and interests of new employment forms of workers such as online car-hailing drivers and takeaways is a shortcoming. . The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security introduced at a regular policy briefing by the State Council on the afternoon of the 18th that the “Guiding Opinions on Safeguarding the Labor Security Rights and Interests of Workers in New Employment Forms” (hereinafter referred to as the “Opinions”) that the eight departments participated in the formulation of have been issued recently. At the level of specific measures, online car-hailing platform companies are required to standardize their own pricing behavior, reduce excessively high percentages, and reasonably determine the driver’s labor remuneration standard.
There is a strong call to make up for the shortcomings of laborers’ social security in the new form of employment. Nie Shengkui, Director of the Department of Labor Relations of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, stated at the briefing that in order to encourage flexible employees to participate in the basic pension insurance for employees, special care has been taken in the system design of payment ratios, payment bases, and payment methods. The “Opinions” proposed that Liberalize the household registration restrictions for flexible employees to participate in basic endowment insurance at the place of employment, organize flexible employees who have not participated in employee endowment insurance to participate in the basic endowment insurance for urban and rural residents in accordance with regulations, so as to ensure that the insurance is fully covered, and enterprises must be urged to participate in social insurance in accordance with the law , To guide and support new forms of employment that do not fully conform to the labor relationship situation, to participate in the corresponding social insurance according to their own circumstances.
At present, there are 236 online car-hailing platform companies nationwide, and more than 3.51 million online car-hailing drivers have been licensed. Li Huaqiang, head of the Department of Transportation Services of the Ministry of Transport, introduced that the “Opinions” require online car-hailing platform companies to standardize their own pricing behavior, reduce excessively high percentages, and ensure reasonable labor compensation for drivers. “Regulate the operating behavior of platform companies, require online car-hailing platform companies to standardize their independent pricing behavior, reduce excessively high percentages, strengthen communication and negotiation with drivers, set a ceiling for the percentage, and announce it to the society. Reasonable labor compensation for drivers, urge online car-hailing platform companies to comprehensively consider factors such as the nature of work, labor intensity, work tasks, local average wages, and market operating conditions to reasonably determine the labor compensation standards for drivers and announce them to the public.”
The group of “Takeaway Brothers” has also received attention. Currently, the scale of food delivery staff has reached 7.7 million. Pang Jin, director of the Network Transaction Supervision and Management Department of the State Administration for Market Regulation, pointed out that the task of food delivery staff comes from the platform and also obtains income through the platform, so the platform should take the initiative to assume the responsibility of protecting the rights and interests of workers. “Reasonably set up a performance evaluation system for delivery staff. The platform should reasonably determine the number of orders, online rates and other evaluation factors, appropriately relax the delivery time limit, and must not infringe the legitimate rights and interests of workers through algorithms and other means.”Return to Sohu to see more
