The mandate, which took effect Monday, will start at $17.96 per hour, increase to $19.96 per hour by the 2025 deadline and adjust annually for inflation
Jeenah Moon / Bloomberg via Getty Images fileNew York City began mandating its first minimum wage for app-based delivery workers Monday, forcing a long-awaited shift in how popular platforms like Uber, Grubhub and DoorDash pay gig workers.
The mandate, which took effect Monday, will start at $17.96 per hour, increase to the standard by the 2025 deadline and adjust annually for inflation, the city said in a news release. As long as delivery apps pay workers the minimum rate on average, they have the option to pay per trip or per hour worked or to develop their own formulas.
The announcement comes after years of advocacy from local community-based organizations and delivery workers. About, often immigrants from South and East Asia, Latin America and Africa, work in the city. However, they’ve been considered independent contractors, excluded from labor protections and exempt from minimum wage requirements. While the city passed a package of protections for delivery workers in 2021, the Adams administration missed the deadline to implement it in January.
A City Hall spokesperson said in response to an inquiry Wednesday that “the Adams administration is in the process of finalizing a rule that will ensure delivery workers are paid a fair rate.”
