Deliveroo accused of paying drivers below agreed minimum of £12 an hour

One driver says rates do not account for waiting times, traffic, and customers taking time to answer the door

Deliveroo has been accused of paying drivers below a minimum pay floor the company agreed earlier this year as part of the first-ever union agreement to cover earnings in the gig economy.

Analysis carried out by Rodeo, an app that helps gig economy workers track their payments, showed that of 531 food orders completed in the past four months, 278 fell below the rate of 12 an hour agreed with the GMB union in May.
