Solon files bill benefiting e-commerce delivery personnel
Herrera filed House Bill No.7559 or the proposed “Magna Carta of E-Commerce Delivery Personnel” to ensure the safety and welfare of e-commerce delivery contractors by promoting cashless payment for home deliveries and penalizing cancellation of cash on delivery transactions.
Herrera said cashless transaction not only prevents virus transmission through the passing of currency notes but also protects delivery workers from unscrupulous customers. “As a result, the delivery rider loses precious time and money, while they are stuck with the customer’s cancelled order,” Herrera said, noting that a typical delivery driver earns a meager monthly salary of P15,000 to P20,000 to support himself and his family.
The proposed measure also provides that “it shall be unlawful for any customer to cancel confirmed orders if the items have already been paid by the delivery rider, is in possession of the delivery driver, or in transit to the customer.” Violators could be fined up to P50,000.
