14  Outcome of digital labour platform operator's consideration and inquiries
 (1) After giving a preliminary deactivation notice, and complying with any applicable requirements in section 13, a digital labour platform operator must decide whether to:
 (a) take no further action in relation to the employee‑like worker; or
 (b) terminate the worker's access to the digital labour platform.
 (2) The digital labour platform operator must, as soon as reasonably practicable, notify the employee‑like worker in writing of the operator's decision.

Decision to take no further action
 (3) If the digital labour platform operator decides to take no further action in relation to the employee‑like worker, the operator must lift any modification or suspension of the worker's access to the digital labour platform imposed under this Division.

Decision to terminate access
 (4) The digital labour platform operator may terminate the employee‑like worker's access to the digital labour platform only if:
 (a) the reason for the termination is a valid reason; and
 (b) the operator considers on reasonable grounds that the reason has been established.
 (5) If the digital labour platform operator decides to terminate the employee‑like worker's access, the operator must, as soon as reasonably practicable, give the employee‑like worker a written notice (the final deactivation notice) that:
 (a) states that the operator has decided to terminate the worker's access to the digital labour platform; and
 (b) specifies the reason for the termination; and
 (c) specifies the time and day on which the termination will take effect (which may be immediately); and
 (d) specifies when and how any final payments owing to the worker will be made.
 (6) The final deactivation notice must contain sufficient information to enable a reasonable person in the position of the employee‑like worker to understand the matters mentioned in subsection (5).
Note: In giving a final deactivation notice, 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).
