Proposal for a directive
Recital 13 a (new)
(13 a) Collective bargaining and collective agreements that are signed by the most representative trade unions are not to be undermined by agreements providing less protections signed by workers' organisations under the control of employers or employers' organisations. Therefore, comparative representativeness rate should be taken into account in order to protect the adequacy of wages, support fair competition, defend sectoral collective bargaining and fight collective bargaining dumping.

Amendment 242 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 17
(17) This Directive should apply to workers who have an employment contract or employment relationship as defined by the law, collective agreements or practice in force in each Member State, with consideration to the criteria established by the Court of Justice of the European Union for determining the status of a worker. Provided that they fulfil those criteria, domestic workers, on-demand workers, intermittent workers, voucher based- workers, bogus self-employed, platform workers, workers in sheltered employment, trainees and apprentices could fall within the scope of this Directive. Genuinely self-employed persons do not fall within the scope of this Directive since they do not fulfil those criteria. The abuse of the status of self- employed persons, as defined in national law, either at national level or in cross- border situations, is a form of falsely declared work that is frequently associated with undeclared work. Bogus self- employment occurs when a person is declared to be self-employed while fulfilling the conditions characteristic of an employment relationship, in order to avoid certain legal or fiscal obligations. Such persons should fall within the scope of this Directive. The determination of the existence of an employment relationship should be guided by the facts relating to the actual performance of the work and not by the parties' description of the relationship.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 22
(22) To promote adequacynd ensure the adequacy and fairness of minimum wages for all groups of workers, variations and deductions from statutory minimum wages should be limited to ait is necessary to apply the principle of equal treatment. The exclusion of any worker from the protection of a statutory minimum wage cannot be justified. Variations of statutory minimum, while ensuring that social partners are duly consulted in their definition. Some deductions to statutory minimum wages may be justified by a legitimate aim, including overstated amounts paid or deductions ordered by a judicial authority. Others, such as deductions related to theages as well as deductions resulting in levels of wages below the statutory minimum wage undermine the principle of equal treatment of workers and the objective of this Directive. Work- related expenses, such as equipment necessary to perform athe job, or deductions ofin-kind allowances in kind, such as accommodation, may be unjustified or disproportionateshould therefore not be deducted from statutory minimum wages. Bonuses and extra payments, such as tips, overtime, end-of-year and holiday payments and welfare funds contributions, should not be included in the calculation of statutory minimum wages.
