DoorDash Switchin’ it Up, Startin’ to Slide Hourly Bread to They Drivers๐Ÿ’ฐ”

On Wednesday, DoorDash was like, we finna start slidin’ our delivery peeps some hourly pay ๐Ÿ’ผ, instead of breakin’ off cash ๐Ÿ’ต for each delivery. This change up could be the answer to folk talkin’ ’bout delivery peeps not gettin’ their fair cut. It might even entice drivers to start pickin’ up them smaller orders that don’t stack up as high, orders they’d usually skip on ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ.

Drivers got the power now, they can choose if they wanna get paid for each order โ€” usually a lil’ something in base pay plus some green for miles driven โ€” or they could be down for a flat hourly rate, that’s what DoorDash put out there ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ.

The hourly rate only counts for active time, meaning the time between grabbin’ and droppin’ off an order, it ain’t countin’ the time when drivers are waitin’ for the next hustle. Drivers can switch it up between the two payment styles as they please. Tips gonna stack up on top of the hourly base pay, the company confirmed.

DoorDash, movin’ food ๐Ÿ” and other deliveries with gig workers, made this change public at Dash Forward, a product event celebrating DoorDash’s 10th birthday bash ๐Ÿฅณ.

DoorDash was like, we puttin’ this payment option out there ’cause our drivers been speaking up, and we want to slide them more power to make their own choices.

“We keep hearing about choice: The choice of when, where, and how they earn is super important,” said Cody Aughney, big boss of the Dasher & Logistics team.

The relationship between gig workers and companies like DoorDash and Uber been under the microscope in recent years by law peeps and worker’s rights activists. The biggest head scratchers been about how those workers are labeled and whether they’re gettin’ paid right.

Gig drivers usually independent contractors who gotta cover their own costs and don’t get the benefits like full-time employees. They been voicing up that they’re underpaid and sometimes played by the companies.

DoorDash said drivers who opt to get paid hourly and those getting bread per delivery were likely to earn around the same. The minimum compensation gonna depend on the region and range from $10 to $19.50 per hour, the company put out there.

This new payment way kinda like Proposition 22, a 2020 California ballot measure that was backed by gig companies and guaranteed drivers a minimum wage and other lil’ benefits in exchange for not classifying them as employees.

But DoorDash was quick to point out a big difference: Drivers can switch between hourly and per-delivery pay as often as they want. This new system won’t be in play in California, Seattle or New York โ€” areas that have passed laws ’bout minimum pay for drivers.

Sergio Avedian, a veteran driver and a contributor to The Rideshare Guy, a blog dishin’ out advice to gig drivers, said an hourly pay option “gives the drivers a lil’ bit of a comfort zone.”

Mr. Avedian, who’s been telling drivers to turn down orders that ain’t likely to bring in decent cash or a good tip, said the hourly payment might get DoorDash drivers to accept smaller deliveries they would’ve avoided. “From their end, the goal is to push as many orders as they can, and on the driverโ€™s end, it might offer them some security,” he spit.

‘Cause some drivers do pass up on orders that ain’t that great, DoorDash said, those who accept everything they’re offered get more of those cheaper deliveries and it ain’t fair. An hourly minimum wage, the company said, will help out that group.

๐Ÿ’ฐ DoorDash Shaking Things Up, Starting to Offer Hourly Pay to Their Drivers

On Wednesday, DoorDash announced that they’re going to start providing their delivery workers with hourly pay ๐Ÿ’ผ, instead of compensating them per delivery with cash ๐Ÿ’ต. This change could be the answer to people expressing concerns about delivery workers not being paid adequately. It might even encourage drivers to begin accepting smaller orders that don’t pay as much, orders they’d typically pass over ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ.

Now, drivers have the choice, they can decide whether they want to get paid for each order โ€” usually a small base pay plus a bit extra for miles driven โ€” or they could opt for a consistent hourly rate, according to DoorDash ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ.

This hourly rate only counts for active time, specifically the time between picking up and dropping off an order. It doesn’t account for the time when drivers are waiting for the next job. Drivers can switch between the two payment methods at their convenience. Tips will accumulate on top of the hourly base pay, the company confirmed.

DoorDash, which delivers food ๐Ÿ” and other items using gig workers, publicized this change at Dash Forward, a product event celebrating DoorDash’s 10th anniversary ๐Ÿฅณ.

DoorDash has stated that they’re introducing this payment option in response to drivers’ feedback and that they want to give drivers more decision-making power.

“We constantly hear about choice: The choice of when, where, and how they earn is extremely important,” said Cody Aughney, the head of the Dasher & Logistics team.

The relationship between gig workers and companies like DoorDash and Uber has been closely examined in recent years by lawmakers and labor rights activists. The biggest points of contention have been how these workers are classified and whether they’re being paid fairly.

Gig drivers are typically independent contractors who have to cover their own expenses and don’t receive benefits like full-time employees. They have been vocal about feeling underpaid and sometimes exploited by the companies.

DoorDash stated that drivers who choose to get paid hourly and those earning per delivery are likely to earn a similar amount. The minimum compensation will depend on the region and range from $10 to $19.50 per hour, the company stated.

This new payment method is somewhat like Proposition 22, a 2020 California ballot measure that was backed by gig companies and guaranteed drivers a minimum wage and other small benefits in exchange for not being classified as employees.

But DoorDash was quick to highlight a big difference: Drivers can switch between hourly and per-delivery pay as often as they want. This new system will not be used in California, Seattle, or New York โ€” areas that have passed laws regarding minimum pay for drivers.

Sergio Avedian, a longtime driver and a contributor to The Rideshare Guy, a blog that provides tips to gig drivers, said an hourly pay option “gives the drivers a bit of a comfort zone.”

Mr. Avedian, who advises drivers to reject orders that aren’t likely to provide a decent income or a good tip, said the hourly payment could be a way for DoorDash to encourage them to accept smaller deliveries they would have skipped. “From their perspective, the goal is to push as many orders as they can, and on the driverโ€™s end, it may offer them some security,” he stated.

Because some drivers do decline less desirable orders, DoorDash said, those who accept everything they’re offered receive a disproportionate number of those cheaper deliveries and it’s not fair. An hourly minimum wage, the company said, will help that group.
