Seattle verges on passing a first-of-its-kind minimum wage protection for app-based service workers.
To do that, it faces the challenge of regulating a labor market that claims to not have traditional employees. Companies like DoorDash and Instacart, instead, tout their relationship with independent contractors.
The problem is that not all of the companies that fall under PayUp’s original scope have a business model that slot neatly into those categories. PayUp, as passed out of a Seattle City Council committee Tuesday, excludes marketplace networks, services that primarily let customers pre-book appointments. It only applies to on-demand services.
“I want to make sure we’re being very careful not to stifle innovation and flexibility, benefits to consumers, workers, and small local businesses,” Pedersen said.
