Summary

This bill would prohibit delivery services from deactivating app-based contracted delivery workers unless the deactivation is for just cause or bona fide economic reasons. A delivery service would be required to use progressive discipline prior to deactivating a worker for just cause, unless such deactivation is for egregious misconduct, and would be required to provide notice of such deactivation within 72 hours of deactivating the worker. A delivery service would be required to provide 120 days’ advance notice prior to deactivation for bona fide economic reasons. An app-based contracted delivery worker may challenge their deactivation in an informal resolution process with the delivery service, or request that the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) investigate the deactivation. If DCWP determines the deactivation was wrongful, the delivery worker would be entitled to remedies including reinstatement and payment of lost earnings.
