8  Deactivation warning generally required before deactivation
 (1) Before deactivating an employee‑like worker from a digital labour platform, a digital labour platform operator must give the worker a notice in writing (the deactivation warning) stating that the worker risks being deactivated from the platform for a reason related to the worker's conduct or capacity.
 (2) The deactivation warning must:
 (a) specify the reason, relating to the employee‑like worker's conduct or capacity, for which it is given; and
 (b) state that the worker risks being deactivated from the digital labour platform if:
 (i) the worker does not, within a reasonable time, remedy the matters that are the subject of the warning; or
 (ii) the reason for giving the warning continues or is repeated; or
 (iii) another issue, relating to the worker's conduct or capacity, arises; and
 (c) state that the worker may seek assistance or support from a person (other than a lawyer acting in a professional capacity), who may be a delegate or an employee of an organisation, in relation to the deactivation warning.
Note 1: For organisation in paragraph (c), see section 12 of the Act.
Note 2: The worker may also appoint a person to provide the worker with support or representation (see section 16).
 (3) The deactivation warning must include sufficient information to enable a reasonable person in the position of the employee‑like worker to understand the matters mentioned in subsection (2).
Note: In giving a deactivation warning, a digital labour platform operator is not required to disclose information about an individual if the operator considers, on reasonable grounds, that the disclosure may pose a risk to the safety or security of the individual (see section 17).
