In France, an employer can set working hours and working conditions, as long as both comply with the law. There are restrictions for safety and health reasons for example.
However, if the work is part time, employees can’t be restricted from working at another part time job, unless that job is for a direct competitor of the employer, in which case the restriction is sometimes allowed. (The idea being there could be a conflict of interest or loyalty.)
- manquer 7y agoUber can now restrict drivers from driving on other platforms ? This will impact both the consumers and drivers for the worse.
- smcphile 7y agoI don’t know if Uber would be permitted to do that, I just know that in some cases it’s allowed. The term used is “concurrence déloyale” or “unfair competition”. In practice, if there was a dispute, the courts would decide if a part-time employee driving for another platform constitutes an act of “concurrence déloyale”. In any case, I read in Le Monde this morning that this recent decision by France’s highest court may mean that Uber will just stop doing business in France (although it’s too soon to know for sure).
