(2) Where in any proceedings against a platform operator under this section it appears to the Magistrate’s Court that a platform worker who has provided a platform service for that platform operator has not been paid an amount which the platform worker is entitled to be paid as earnings or otherwise in accordance with an award, that Court may —(a) order the platform operator to pay to the platform worker the amount due to that platform worker either in a lump sum or by instalments; and (b) fix the date or dates on which the lump sum or instalments are to be paid. (3) Where an amount or instalment ordered to be paid under subsection (2) is not paid on the date fixed by the order, the amount or so much of that amount as then remains unpaid is immediately recoverable as if it were a fine and the amount so recovered must be paid to the platform worker entitled under the order.[Act 30 of 2024 wef 01/01/2025]
