Starting January 1, wage theft in Australia becomes a criminal offence! Bosses who deliberately underpay workers could face 10 years in jail and fines up to $1.65 million.
This landmark law follows years of scandals involving major employers like #Woolworths, #Qantas, #7Eleven, and the ABC.

After doing a dashing stint last night, I believe I can confidently say that the "base pay" (the base cash amount offered to a dasher for a delivery) has risen significantly. The offers for the deliveries definitely seemed richer than normal.

My average this year has been $4.04 per delivery.

Yesterday, on 10 deliveries, I averaged $5.88, my highest ever.

My concern, though, is tips. I only averaged $2.57 last night. My 2024 average is $3.81. So I'll be interested to see if DD has changed their system at all on that or if it's just a bad day.

The number of offers I received didn't seem to change significantly, but it's hard to say after just one night. We'll see how this plays out over the next few weeks and months.

Big change for #DoorDash in #BC starts today!

"Dashers fulfilling third-party deliveries received through DoorDash Marketplace in British Columbia will now earn a minimum of $20.88 per hour of active time, before tips, plus $0.35 per kilometer traveled during active time on each delivery (active time is from when an offer is accepted until that offer is completed)”

New regulations impacting Dasher pay are coming into effect today (September 3, 2024) in British Columbia. Dashers fulfilling third-party deliveries received through DoorDash Marketplace in British Columbia will now earn a minimum of $20.88 per hour of active time, before tips, plus $0.35 per kilometer traveled during active time on each delivery (active time is from when an offer is accepted until that offer is completed).

Dasher earnings will be reviewed weekly to see if your DoorDash pay meets the earnings minimum. Dashers who earn below that minimum will receive a pay adjustment.

We may make more changes to the platform over the coming months as we evaluate the impact of the British Columbia government’s new regulations. Look out for more messages on how this may impact your dashing experience.

In the meantime, please refer to this FAQ for additional information on how the new regulations may impact your experience dashing in British Columbia starting September 3, 2024.

How does the earnings minimum work?

Dashers can continue to dash and earn per offer, but your pay will be reviewed on a weekly basis to see if you qualify for a weekly pay adjustment.

Bullet Point
Earnings minimum:

Dashers will now earn at least $20.88 per active hour (which is 120% of B.C.’s current general minimum wage of $17.40 per hour), plus $0.35 per kilometer as mileage pay for time on delivery (from when an offer is accepted until that offer is completed). This rate excludes tips (Dashers will continue to receive 100% of tips) and is just a minimum, so Dashers still have the opportunity to earn more than the minimum.

Bullet Point
Weekly pay adjustments:

At the end of each week, Dasher earnings are reviewed to see if their DoorDash pay meets the earnings minimum. For Dashers who earn below the required minimum, a pay adjustment will be added on the same day a Dashers’ weekly pay summary is updated. Dashers can view their earnings adjustment in the weekly summary on the Earnings tab in the Dasher app.
