I did a quick search and it appears the law sets a minimum of about $20 per hour. So I guess DoorDash considers there to be about 40 minutes of "active time" per hour?
That seems to "match" what I quickly saw. I'm in no way an expert on this, but I did some quick spot checking of what I could find online. From 5-10 screenshots I saw of people's earnings drivers seem to have about 70% or 75% of "dashing time" as active time.
There were exceptions I also saw, someone at 50%, some other people said they were at ~90% although I didn't see screenshots.
I assume this varies heavily by if your in a city or not or how close to meal time it is which I've got no insight into.
And note this could be all entirely wrong - it's people who chose to post their screenshots online so huge risk for selection bias to it being higher paid workers.
What law are you referring to, and a minimum of $20 per hour for what? Wouldn't your interpretation mean I can sign up for DoorDash, keep the app open, never accept a delivery, and be guaranteed $20/hr?
