SINGAPORE – Delivery platform Foodpanda has begun offering its riders the option of full-time employment, complete with fixed shifts and employee benefits.

Offering a monthly basic salary of $1,800, the job is currently limited to bicycle and electric bicycle users, with a $600 bonus spread over the first six months for those who sign up now.

Delivery riders under this scheme will be required to work 44 hours a week, and those with their own vehicles will receive an additional $100 each month. Foodpanda will provide electric bicycles for those without their own vehicles.

Those who sign up are expected to meet a delivery target of 320 orders each month.

The basic salary will still be paid to delivery riders as long as they fulfil the 44-hour weekly requirement. However, they could face remedial action, including termination, if they fail to meet the 320-order target, according to Foodpanda’s website.

Launched on Oct 21, the scheme is meant to complement the platform’s existing fleet of gig delivery riders and not replace it, a Foodpanda spokesperson told The Straits Times on Oct 23.

“This is part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen delivery capacity and maintain a reliable service for our customers and merchant partners, particularly in areas or during periods where additional support is required.”

The spokesperson added that the full-time employment option will be a separate and distinct arrangement, intended for those “who prefer defined working hours, a fixed monthly salary and other statutory employee benefits”.

According to Foodpanda’s website, the working hours are split into four-hour shifts that riders can select.

It noted that efficient riders can hit the 320-order target in 100 to 110 hours a month, or about 25 to 27½ hours a week. Riders who hit their quota early can use the remaining time as they wish, including making ad-hoc deliveries for additional earnings based on the number of orders completed.

In addition, those who opt for the scheme will receive full CPF contributions, as well as medical coverage and other employee benefits, including seven days of annual leave. An additional day of leave will be added for every year of service.

Currently, the Platform Workers Act mandates that platform workers born on or after Jan 1, 1995, contribute more to their CPF accounts, with platform companies also required to contribute their share.

From Jan 1, 2027, the contribution rate for these platform workers will be 15.5% , while platform operators will have to contribute 10.5%.

The rates will eventually increase to 20% and 17% respectively by Jan 1, 2029, in line with the current CPF contribution rates for employees aged 55 and below.

When asked if Foodpanda would allow foreigners to take up the full-time opportunity, the spokesperson said any employment of foreigners would have to comply with Singapore’s work pass, quota, levy and employment requirements.

Under the country’s laws, only Singaporeans and permanent residents are allowed to do platform work.

The spokesperson added that Foodpanda is working with the National Delivery Champions Association (NDCA) to assess the impact of the scheme on its platform workers, with a particular focus on earning opportunities and welfare.

ST has contacted the NDCA for more information.

目前，全职岗位仅限自行车和电动自行车用户。

新加坡——外卖平台 Foodpanda 已开始为骑手提供全职工作选择，包括固定班次和员工福利。

该职位每月基本工资为 1800 美元，目前仅限自行车和电动自行车使用者申请，现在报名者将在前六个月获得 600 美元奖金。

根据这项计划，送餐员每周需工作 44 小时，拥有私家车的送餐员每月将额外获得 100 美元补贴。Foodpanda 将为没有私家车的送餐员提供电动自行车。

注册者每月需完成 320 个订单的交付目标。

只要送餐员每周工作时长达到 44 小时，他们的基本工资仍将照常发放。但根据 Foodpanda 网站的信息，如果他们未能达到 320 份订单的目标，则可能面临包括解雇在内的处罚。

Foodpanda 的一位发言人 10 月 23 日告诉《海峡时报》，该计划于 10 月 21 日推出，旨在补充该平台现有的零工配送骑手队伍，而不是取代它。

“这是我们持续努力的一部分，旨在加强配送能力，为我们的客户和商家合作伙伴保持可靠的服务，尤其是在需要额外支持的地区或时期。”

发言人补充说，全职工作选项将是一个独立且不同的安排，旨在为“那些喜欢固定工作时间、固定月薪和其他法定员工福利”的人提供。

根据 Foodpanda 网站的信息，工作时间分为四个四小时的班次，骑手可以选择不同的班次。

报告指出，效率高的骑手每月只需100到110小时即可完成320单的目标，也就是每周大约25到27.5小时。提前完成配额的骑手可以自由支配剩余时间，包括接一些临时订单，根据完成的订单数量赚取额外收入。

此外，选择该计划的员工将获得全额公积金缴款、医疗保险和其他员工福利，包括每年七天的年假。每服务满一年，年假将额外增加一天。

目前，《平台工作者法》规定，1995 年 1 月 1 日或之后出生的平台工作者需向其公积金账户缴纳更多款项，平台公司也必须缴纳其应缴份额。

从 2027 年 1 月 1 日起，这些平台工作者的缴费率将为 15.5%，而平台运营商的缴费率将为 10.5%。

到 2029 年 1 月 1 日，这些比例最终将分别提高到 20% 和 17%，与目前 55 岁及以下员工的公积金缴款率一致。

当被问及 Foodpanda 是否会允许外国人担任全职员工时，发言人表示，任何雇用外国人都必须遵守新加坡的工作准证、配额、税费和就业要求。

根据该国法律，只有新加坡公民和永久居民才能从事平台工作。

发言人补充说，Foodpanda 正在与全国配送冠军协会 (NDCA) 合作，评估该计划对其平台工作人员的影响，尤其关注收入机会和福利。

ST已联系NDCA以获取更多信息。
