Given that DD also had a minimum they would pay, regardless of tip, that can also be stated as - We will pay you $X - We will make sure you make at least $Y

Given that DD also had a minimum they would pay, regardless of tip, that can also be stated as
- We will pay you $X
- We will make sure you make at least $Y
If you make the wording changes
- $X == <wait staff minimum wage>
- $Y == <normal minimum wage>
Then it becomes clear that this is exactly how restaurants work; with the caveat that it's per delivery instead of per hour.
- gkop 7y agoThis framing would certainly be more transparent. I doubt though that DoorDash would want to explicitly adopt a compensation practice that's illegal in seven states including their home state of California (https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/state/minimum-wage/tipped https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/state/minimum-wage/tipped).
- RHSeeger 7y agoAssuming you take == as "works the same as" not "is the same monetary value", then what about it is illegal?
