New York Expands Minimum Wage Rules
New York City is expanding its minimum wage rules to include grocery couriers, after a similar policy for restaurant delivery drivers led to a significant number of drivers quitting and rising costs.
In 2023, New York City became the first city in the US to implement a minimum wage rate for app-based restaurant delivery drivers, with other progressive cities following suit. However, this has resulted in issues such as increased delivery costs and a decline in the number of drivers in the workforce.
New Legislation for Grocery Delivery Drivers
In July, the New York City Council passed a legislative package aimed at protecting grocery delivery drivers. The new rules require delivery apps to offer a 10-percent tipping option at the time of order, and mandate that app-based platforms pay drivers within seven days of the end of a pay period.
The city is doubling down on its minimum wage policy, despite the challenges faced by restaurant delivery drivers.
