According to recruitment documents, Meituan recruits motorcycle riders, cyclists and infantry delivery men at the same time. Delivery staff revenue consists of delivery service fee, event reward and group extra service fee, of which the event reward part also includes newcomer reward, special holiday reward and activity award. Based on the industry standard of delivering about two orders in one hour, assuming that the delivery man makes 500 orders in the month and receives all the rewards, the infantry can earn more than 20,000 and the rider can earn up to 35,000 Hong Kong dollars.

In order to attract delivery staff to join, Meituan also issued a special welcome bonus, and you can get an additional HK$2,500 for completing the target order within 14 days.

For comparison, public data shows that the median monthly income of employed persons in Hong Kong in the second quarter of last year was 20,000 yuan (excluding foreign domestic helpers).

It can be seen that the salary given by Meituan is still relatively good, but the food delivery work is relatively intense, which may be more difficult.

Treatment of takeaway delivery staff in the Mainland

According to Meituan, the number of takeaway riders registered on the platform has exceeded 10 million, and according to Meituan's financial report, a total of 5.27 million riders received income on the Meituan platform in 2021. Delivery costs for takeaway riders reached RMB68.2 billion, accounting for 71% of takeaway revenue.

In general, platform riders can be divided into 3 categories:

1. Send riders and sign labor contracts directly with the platform;

2. For outsourcing riders, the outsourcing company signs an outsourcing service cooperation agreement with the platform, and the outsourcing company and the rider sign a labor contract;

3. Crowdsourcing riders, any natural person can become a platform rider through registration, and riders use their spare time to receive orders and deliver.

It sounds cruel, but it's true. Except for a very small number of dedicated riders who have signed labor relations with Meituan, such as in the outsourcing and crowdsourcing models, riders and Meituan do not have labor or labor relations, and Meituan has successfully passed on the risks it may take to outsourcing companies. Many outsourcing companies are shell companies, which simply cannot afford to take risks, and once they encounter problems, they often close their doors and run away.

The rider's salary

Some riders send a relatively large amount of orders, and their monthly income can reach the level of 10,000 yuan, and most of them have a monthly income of about 5,000 yuan.

Why not buy social security for delivery workers?

Last year, Meituan was officially named for riders' social security issues, causing controversy. In addition to the social security contracts signed directly with Meituan, most of the riders in Meituan are contracts signed with outsourcing companies, and they have not paid social insurance, and the number of these riders is about 4 million.

Reasons for not paying social security

1. The amount is too large for Meituan to bear

If Meituan buys social insurance for all riders, without adjusting salaries, the company's monthly social security expenditure exceeds one billion, and Meituan's annual profit is only 2.8 billion, which is unbearable for Meituan's takeaway business that has not yet begun to make a profit.

2. The rider himself is unwilling to hand it over.

If you really pay social security, this expenditure will inevitably be passed on to the rider, and the salary level will inevitably decline, for takeaway riders, it is better not to pay social security, but also to get real money.

Write at the end

Enterprises go to sea, willing to provide higher salaries and benefits for local employees, but unwilling to pay social security for employees in the domestic market, just want to exploit legal loopholes and save expenses, I have to say a little ironic!

In any case, paying social insurance is the obligation of the company to hire employees. It is hoped that similar enterprises can assume corporate responsibilities and give real protection to employees, and the essence of capital seeking profit cannot be changed, but the previous penalty of 3.4 billion yuan for monopoly has sounded the alarm for enterprises!
