Unemployment benefits
In contrast to Delivery Hero's 2018 annual report, which includes "riders" as employees, Delivery Hero's national subsidiaries (Foodora, Foodpanda, etc.) usually classify their workers as independent contractors and not employees. This classification frees Delivery Hero from responsibilities towards its workers, including the right to Workers' compensation, Sick leave, overtime, Unemployment benefits, hazard pay, and protections against wrongful Termination of employment or firing.
