Uber will offer drivers and delivery people 14 days of paid sick leave if they fall ill with coronavirus or are placed in quarantine
New York Uber said it will offer drivers and delivery people 14 days of paid sick leave if they fall ill with coronavirus or are placed in quarantine.
It's a change in policy for the ride-share service, which largely views such workers as independent contractors not eligible for benefits. "We are supporting drivers and delivery people who are diagnosed with COVID-19 or placed in quarantine by a public health authority," Andrew Macdonald, senior vice president of Rides and Platform, said in a statement Saturday."Drivers and delivery people in these situations will receive compensation for a period of up to 14 days.
