- Dylan16807 5y agoAre you paid hourly? We could try salaried uber drivers but I have no idea how that would work.
- ec109685 5y agoPaying Uber drivers a salary isn’t necessary. They can be a part-time employees and chose when they work without having a fixed salary. E.g. non-exempt employees as specified here: https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/tools-and-samples/hr-qa/pages/whatismeantbythetermsexempt,non-exempt,salariedandhourly.aspx https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/tools-and-samples/hr-... > Nonexempt: An individual who is not exempt from the overtime provisions of the FLSA and is therefore entitled to overtime pay for all hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek (as well as any state overtime provisions). Nonexempt employees may be paid on a salary, hourly or other basis.
- Dylan16807 5y ago> They can be a part-time employees and chose when they work without having a fixed salary. In a way where it actually makes sense for uber to hire them? If someone can sit in their house and push a button to start being paid their full rate, and doesn't have to actually do anything for the company during that time...
- ec109685 5y agoUber doesn’t have to offer shifts to everyone whenever they want them of offer a base wage higher than minimum.
- Dylan16807 5y agoThey can't just limit hires, which already hurts the flexibility, they would have to limit shifts to different amounts based on the time of day, which would basically kill the idea of spontaneously working whenever you want.
- ec109685 5y agoThat’s a good point. There will be some flexibility removed. It isn’t as dire as Uber / Lyft claim where you can’t have a day job anymore, but in order to pay drivers minimum wage, they may have to limit driver supply some at certain hours.
