What does “employee-like” mean?

“Employee-like” is a term that refers to a category of workers who are not employees or independent contractors, but who perform work through a digital platform, such as a gig economy app. The “closing the loopholes bill” aims to provide these workers with minimum standards and protections, such as fair pay, safe working conditions, and access to dispute resolution. The bill also empowers the Fair Work Commission to set and enforce these standards for “employee-like” workers¹². For more information, you can check out these web search results³.
