Pay, unpredictability top concerns for B.C. ride-hail and food delivery workers: report
A provincial engagement intended to inform possible new gig economy employment standards shows that ride-hail and food-delivery workers in B.C. are dealing with poor, unpredictable pay and safety risks.
For those people especially, low pay, a lack of benefits and sick leave, and the absence of worker protections are real concerns. Workers said they highly value the flexibility of the gigs in terms of choosing their own hours, being able to work across multiple different platforms, and having the option to decline certain trips or deliveries, but that it comes at a cost.
Workers also noted they aren’t paid for the time they spend waiting for a new assignment to come in, that companies sometimes take a portion of the tips customers provide, that they often don’t know what they’ll be paid until after they’ve accepted an assignment, and that they aren’t compensated for late passengers or slow restaurants.
