Truxx Announces Tips for Drivers Program
Summary
Truxx introduced the program to guarantee that all gratuity goes directly to drivers and is not used to calculate hourly earning rates. -- Truxx announced the Tips for Drivers program in response to the recent fallout from Instacart, DoorDash, Amazon Flex, and other gig-services when it was recently made public that their policy included gratuity in calculating minimum workers pay rates. The Tips for Drivers program guarantees Truxx drivers receive 100% of their earned gratuity, and that tips will not be used to calculate average hourly earnings.In November when Instacart made public that its earning estimates include gratuity, it created a backlash that forced the popular pickup and delivery service to reverse the controversial practice. In response, Truxx announced the Tips for Drivers program to reaffirm its policy that drivers keep all of their tips.In a statement, Carlos Suarez, co-Founder and Chief Design Officer said "The gig economy is a powerful force, but if we are going to change the world we must value trust over money. We made this announcement as a way to provide a clear and simple message regarding our policy: drivers keep their tips.
