Hospitality recruitment app Supp classifies gig-workers as contractors, raising worker entitlements concerns
Supp, an Australian hospitality gig-work app launched in 2017, is facing scrutiny from workers' rights experts over its classification of workers as independent contractors, which may deny them entitlements like superannuation. The app operates as a jobs marketplace connecting hospitality businesses with casual workers seeking ad-hoc shifts, but the contractor model raises concerns similar to those surrounding delivery rider employment. Workers' rights advocates have expressed alarm about the lack of worker protections and autonomy inherent in the platform's structure.
