The B.C. government has unveiled a set of proposed employment standards for "gig workers" with Uber, SkipTheDishes and other app-based services, including minimum earnings and tip protections.

Under the proposed standards, companies would have to pay workers 120 per cent of the province’s minimum wage, not including tips, from the time they accept a ride-hailing or delivery assignment through its completion.

The rate is higher than B.C.’s minimum wage – currently set at $16.75 – because it would not apply to the time spent waiting between assignments, according to the Ministry of Labour.

    No worries, haha, like I said it’s only really a story to me.

    Thanks for the chat, and reminding me of Jazz Jackrabbit (it’s on Gog.com!)
