Having two jobs versus one job and with a minimum wage would just have your hourly rate increase on both jobs to the minimum rate .
Just because you have two jobs doesn’t mean that the law doesn’t apply .
What just happens is the ride share companies have every hour a driver is working and if it falls below the minimum wage then they would have to increase it to the minimum.
- Kiro 6y agoThey are working both apps at the same time, picking rides from the first that pops up. I don't see how hourly rates would work with that unless they timeslot every hour to one company, which is not how it currently works.
- zitterbewegung 6y agoI haven’t seen a driver that has a ride share when one is from Lyft and the other is from Uber. But that doesn’t matter because you would calculate minimum wage by taking the amount of time worked with the income and then computing the difference between the hourly rate.
- wgerard 6y agoI think it's quite common for drivers to have both the Lyft and Uber app open, and to take the first/best available ride that pops up from either app. The question is whether you'll be paid by Uber while completing a ride from Lyft, and if the answer is "no" how that'll happen technically. Or perhaps you don't get paid for idle time - I'm not quite clear on that point.
- AdrianB1 6y agoIs that for the time effectively worked (trip time) or it includes time between trips? If a driver is sitting idle waiting for a trip who is paying, both companies or nobody?
