Foodpanda rolls out full-time rider jobs with $1,800 salary and full CPF contributions
The scheme is not meant to replace its platform workers, said a spokesperson.
Singapore-based delivery service Foodpanda has introduced full-time rider positions with a monthly salary of $1,800 and full CPF contributions. The scheme, launched on October 21, offers fixed shifts and employee benefits, including medical coverage and seven days of annual leave, which increases by one day for each subsequent year of service.
To qualify, riders must work 44 hours per week and complete 320 orders each month, with a $600 bonus paid over the first six months for those who sign up. Those with their own vehicles receive an additional $100 monthly. Foodpanda will provide electric bicycles for riders who do not own their own.
The monthly salary will be paid as long as riders meet the 44-hour requirement, but failure to meet the 320-order target could result in remedial action, including termination. The working hours are divided into four-hour shifts, allowing riders to choose their preferred shifts. Efficient riders can meet the target in 100-110 hours, or approximately 25-27.5 hours per week.
The full-time employment option is separate from Foodpanda's existing gig delivery riders and aims to strengthen delivery capacity, particularly in areas or during periods requiring additional support. Interested individuals can find more information on Foodpanda's website.
