[ad_1] Under the new policy, DoorDash drivers will receive a base pay that ranges between $2 to $10, and is estimated based on factors like distance, duration and the desirability of the job itself. “Deliveries that are expected to take more time, that require Dashers to travel a longer distance, and that are less popular […]

[ad_1] Earlier this year, news reports exposed that not only did DoorDash (and others, like Instacart) sometimes lower its payout to delivery workers when customers tipped, its payment system didn’t make clear that this was happening. Last month it changed payouts to show how much of “Dashers” income came from the company vs. tips, but […]

No Comments on Uber will pay $20 million to settle drivers’ lawsuit
