What Is Net Earnings Floor?
Consistent with California Proposition 22, effective December 16, 2020, California CareDrivers are entitled to a Driver Fee consistent with California Law.
Driver Fees, as averaged during the weekly earnings period, shall not fall below a Net Earnings Floor which guarantees a minimum average weekly Driver Fee equal to at least 120% of the applicable minimum wage rate for all Engaged Time. The applicable minimum wage rate will be determined based on the Rider’s pick-up location or the State-mandated minimum wage rate, whichever is higher.
CareDrivers shall also receive an expense reimbursement of $0.34 per mile for miles driven during the Engaged Time. The per-mile reimbursement rate will be adjusted annually to reflect any increase in inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers.
If a CareDriver’s total net Driver Fee in a particular earnings period falls below the Net Earnings Floor, the difference between the Driver Fee and the Net Earnings Floor shall be deposited into the CareDriver’s account no later than the next earnings period.
For purposes of the Net Earnings Floor, the net Driver Fees for an earnings period shall include all incentives or fare boosts earned during that earnings period but shall not include gratuities, tolls, or damage fees.
