Ride-hailing company’s incentive for 60-hour work week highlights conversation on gig worker protections

As the province undergoes consultation on employment standards for gig workers in B.C., a ride-hailing company launching on the Island is offering incentives for drivers to drive 60 hours per week.

“An ‘All-Star’ driver is a driver that works 60 hours a week either on a 6 x 10 or 5 x 12 rotation. They’re guaranteed to earn a minimum of $1,500 + tips on a weekly basis,” Dhami said in an email. “In some instances, we will pro-rate a ‘guarantee’ for those who commit to 40 hours a week on select schedules.”

Adam Walker, B.C.’s Parliamentary Secretary for the New Economy, is leading the consultations and says he is hoping to hear from gig workers on policies like Uride’s.
