How much do Dashers get paid earn by time?

Dashers operating in the 'Earn by Time' mode receive their payment details after completing each delivery offer. The base pay is determined by a guaranteed active hourly rate, which is calculated based on the total time a Dasher spends dashing. This time frame begins when the Dasher accepts an offer and continues until the delivery is completed or canceled. Importantly, this calculation also includes any waiting time at the merchant, ensuring that Dashers are compensated for all the time they invest in the delivery process. This payment structure is designed to provide a more stable income for Dashers, as it accounts for the various factors that can affect delivery times, such as traffic or delays at the restaurant. Overall, this system aims to create a fairer compensation model that reflects the actual time and effort put in by Dashers during their shifts.
