Get to Know Prop 22 at Curri

Prop 22 is a California law that protects the rights of gig economy drivers as independent contractors while providing them with extra benefits and protections when they are on the road. California gig drivers on Curri's platform are covered by Prop 22.

Here's what California gig drivers can expect with Prop 22:

Guaranteed minimum earnings equal to at least 120% of the local minimum hourly wage plus a $0.37 per-mile reimbursement for miles driven during active delivery time. Active delivery time (“engaged time” under Prop 22) begins when an ASAP delivery is accepted, or, for scheduled and same-day deliveries, when the delivery becomes active in the app (usually when the driver confirms it), not when it’s accepted. It ends when the delivery is completed or canceled, or the driver is unassigned. It doesn’t include time while a delivery is on hold. Local minimum wage is based on the pickup location of the delivery. $0.37 per mile compensation is paid per mile driven to pickup and between pickup and drop-off during active delivery time, based on the actual miles driven as measured by GPS through the Curri driver app.

When a driver's average compensation for the deliveries they completed during their pay period is less than the guaranteed minimum, Curri will make up the difference. A driver's pay period is a set 14-day period of time during which all deliveries must average out to be at least equal to the guaranteed minimum earnings.

For each pay period, Curri calculates and pays out guaranteed minimum earnings payments to drivers within two weeks of the end of the pay period.

California gig drivers may qualify for a quarterly healthcare subsidy, an additional payment from Curri to help cover health insurance costs.

Only drivers who average at least 15 hours per week of active delivery time during a calendar quarter and are enrolled in a qualifying health plan will qualify for a health subsidy in that quarter. For each calendar quarter, Curri will notify all drivers eligible to receive a healthcare subsidy after the quarter ends. Due to the nature of Curri's business, the volume of delivery opportunities available, and the size of Curri's driver network, very few gig drivers have enough active delivery time to qualify for a healthcare subsidy in each quarter.

See Curri's help article on the Prop 22 Healthcare Subsidy for more information.

All Curri gig drivers in California are covered by an occupational accident insurance plan while performing deliveries on the Curri platform. The occupational accident insurance covers medical expenses and other losses a driver may experience due to personal injuries suffered while making deliveries on the Curri platform.

All California gig drivers are required to take a break of at least 6 hours after being logged into our driver app for 12 hours or more within 24 hours. After at least a 6-hour break, drivers may resume delivery activities. All California gig drivers are expected to comply with these requirements.
