foodpanda offers full-time rider jobs from S$1,800/month, with CPF contributions & benefits

Foodpanda, a Singapore-based food delivery platform, has introduced full-time delivery rider positions under its Employee Rider Programme. These roles promise a minimum monthly salary of S$1,800, complete with CPF contributions and additional benefits, according to the platform's website. Riders are expected to work a minimum of 44 hours per week, and unlike platform riders who are protected under the Platform Workers Act, these full-time employees will fall under the Employment Act.

To qualify for the base pay, riders must meet a target of 320 qualifying orders, which can be achieved within 100 to 110 hours per month. Once this target is met, they can continue working under a freelance account. If riders fail to reach the target, they will still receive their basic salary as long as they fulfill their 44-hour weekly commitment. However, they may face remedial actions, up to termination.

The new scheme, launched on October 21, is intended to augment, not replace, the existing fleet of platform riders. Foodpanda stated that this initiative is part of their ongoing efforts to enhance delivery capacity and ensure a consistent service for customers and merchant partners. Bicycle or e-bike users are eligible for these roles, with the company providing an e-bike to those who do not already own one. Those who provide their own e-bikes receive an additional S$100 in vehicle allowance.
