Singapore’s ride-hailing and food-delivery workers are set to gain more benefits like insurance and pensions, but the platform companies using them won’t need to treat them as full-time employees.
In a decision affecting companies such as Grab Holdings Ltd., GoTo Group, Delivery Hero SE’s Foodpanda and Deliveroo Plc, the government said Wednesday it accepted all 12 recommendations from a committee working on new standards for the gig economy. The new rules will require legislative changes and will become effective in the latter half of 2024 at the earliest.
