New York City is proposing a minimum pay rate of $23.82 an hour by 2025 for app-based food restaurant delivery workers, in another step to improve conditions for the independent contractors.
The proposal by the New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection would force companies including Uber Technologies Inc., DoorDash Inc. and Just Eat Takeaway.com NV’s Grubhub to set a minimum pay rate for the delivery workers of $17.87, and to increase it in three years to almost $24, according to the department.
