    My understanding is that they are only getting paid the minimum wage while they are actively servicing an order. If they are online but waiting for something to come in they don’t get anything.

      Thats how it works today. The article discusses a law change where they are paid hourly for just being online to accept orders. So if you are waiting for an hour, even without an order, you need to be paid

        What happens if a driver chooses to be online for all 3 delivery services simultaneously? Is there some sort of SLA for deliveries per hour? Seems like it might be a pretty decent gig if not.
