That's nothing new. Employees can already have flexible hours and part-time employment.
The issue is that they're still considered employees which means predetermined shifts and control rather than fluid supply meeting demand by the minute. This changes the service (which matters more than the price for customers) so that it no longer works at the current scale.
- Majromax 6y ago> The issue is that they're still considered employees which means predetermined shifts Is there anything in California labour law or AB5 that requires predetermined shifts? What would prevent Uber/Lyft from allowing its now-employees to volunteer for an X-hour shift at any point that demand forecasts suggest it would be useful?
- manigandham 6y agoThat's a predetermined shift. Your only option is to accept it or not. Not work when and where and however long you want.
- tedivm 6y agoThere's nothing in California law that requires predetermined shifts. The only rules are that if you do have predetermined shifts, you have to pay for at least half the shift even if you send someone home early. All of these people talking about predetermined shifts are just pretty FUD with no backing in reality.
- manigandham 6y agoAre you assuming that Uber will pay you for time and yet let you just turn on the app and sit in a parking lot wherever you want? What do you call it when Uber tells an employee where, when and how long to work?
