On June 26, 2025, the European Parliament’s Committee on Employment and Social Affairs published a draft report (“Draft Report”) recommending that the Commission initiate the legislative process for an EU Directive on algorithmic management in the workplace.  The Draft Report defines algorithmic management as the use of automated systemsincluding those involving artificial intelligenceto monitor, assess, or make decisions affecting workers and solo self-employed persons.

This Draft Report follows a Commission study published in March 2025 (“Commission Study”), which found that while existing EU legislation, such as the GDPR, addresses some risks to workers from algorithmic management, others remain.  The Commission Study also recognizes that the AI Act does not establish specific rights for workers in the context of AI use, which is noted as a concern.

The Draft Report encloses the proposed text for a new Directive on algorithmic management in the workplace (“Proposed Directive”).  The Draft Report has not yet been endorsed by the European Parliament.Continue Reading European Parliament Committee Recommends Commission to Propose EU Directive on Algorithmic Management
