DoorDash says it will give drivers the option to earn a minimum hourly wage
DoorDash said it is changing the way it compensates its food delivery workers by giving them the option of earning a minimum hourly wage, rather than being paid by delivery.
The change comes amid criticisms of gig-economy services like DoorDash that their workers may not even earn the minimum wage due to the way the companies structure their pay, which is typically based on per-service fees rather than hourly rates. CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL ARTICLE
We have seen for the last couple of years that Gig workers are asking for better pay and work culture for the companies they are doing side gig work for. I believe we will continue to see changes coming from many companies. Pay, work hours, and benefits will continue to be discussed to see how we improve the working conditions of gig workers.
“The Gig Economy is one of the fastest-growing sectors in our workforce. During the pandemic of 2020, we found out just how many. Laws were even changed to make sure that contractors, self-employed, freelancers, and side gig workers were taken care of. The Gig Economy is a labor market characterized by the prevalence of short-term contracts or freelance work as opposed to permanent jobs. It is a growing sector that will continue to grow. Dr. Yolanda Shield’s sixth book The Gig Economy will share how this future of work will continue to make a big impact in today’s economy”. Dr. Yolanda Shields
