Greece puts its AI-at-work and platform-workers bill out for consultation until 19 November

Greece’s Ministry of Labour has opened public consultation on a bill regulating artificial intelligence at work and the rights of platform workers, running until 19 November 2026. The bill transposes the EU Platform Work Directive (2024/2831) and goes further, covering the use of AI in employment generally. It would require human oversight of significant algorithmic decisions, so that accounts cannot be suspended or contracts ended by a fully automated process, give workers the right to an explanation and a review, introduce a rebuttable presumption of employment for platform workers, and create a platform register in ERGANI, the ministry’s labour information system (Newsit; Greek Reporter).

Why this matters

If you find work through a platform in Greece, or are managed by software that allocates or rates your work, this bill would give you the right to have a human look at decisions that affect your income. The presumption of employment shifts the burden onto the platform to show you are genuinely self-employed.

Context

Member states must transpose the Platform Work Directive by 2 December 2026. Greece is going beyond the directive’s minimum by applying the AI rules to employment generally. This bill follows the government’s approval in principle in September (our earlier report).
