Pay social security. Takeaway riders have different attitudes

Although many takeaway platforms have stated that they will pay social security for riders, since the social security funds need to be paid by enterprises and individuals, and takeaway riders are both full-time and part-time. They also have different attitudes towards paying social security, but some riders have expressed concerns. A rider who was interviewed admitted: "It is best not to exceed 500 yuan for personal part, and you can consider it; if it exceeds 1,000 yuan, it doesn't make much sense." 7 provinces and cities pilot occupational injury protection for workers in new employment forms

Li Yipu has been a rider in Beijing for more than three years. In March last year, he had a traffic accident while delivering orders. He immediately sent the accident report information through the platform App's "one-click report" system. Subsequently, the company submitted an application for payment of occupational injury benefits to the Beijing Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau through a national information platform, and Li Yipu submitted the materials online. After the assessment of occupational injury labor capacity, Li Yipu not only reimbursed most of the medical expenses, but also received a one-time disability allowance. "The compensation is very fast. The labor capacity assessment results were released in one month. It was determined that the level 10 disability was confirmed, which was a guarantee for the rider." Li Yipu said.
