Delivery Drivers Get New Pay Floor | Adelaide News
Description
Food delivery drivers are getting a major boost with new minimum pay standards—now guaranteed at $31.30 an hour while working, up from the national minimum wage. This interim rule, born from recent government reforms that gave the Fair Work Commission more power, aims to stabilize gig work by offering protections like sick leave and basic insurance. Drivers like Alexi Edwards, who once earned as little as $15/hour, now have a floor to plan their lives around. Platforms must track earnings over 21 days and top up pay if needed. While this is a crucial first step, advocates hope it sparks broader reforms across the entire gig economy.
