Swiggy changes worker insurance policy based on driver’s delivery performance: Report

Swiggy changes worker insurance policy based on driver’s delivery performance: Report

The Hindu
Thursday, April 18, 2024 5:48 AM GMT

Swiggy changes drivers’ insurance support and other privileges based on their performance, Rest of World reported.

Food delivery service Swiggy gave its drivers insurance support and other privileges based on their performance, leaving them vulnerable to being cut off during a time of crisis, Rest of World reported.

One case featured an anonymous delivery driver for Swiggy who said he was eligible for family insurance benefits, but lost out because he missed work while trying to take care of his ill wife.

Swiggy introduced three tiers of worker benefits last year - gold, silver, and bronze - according to the news outlet. While those on the gold level can avail family insurance benefits, those in the silver level do not get family coverage, and drivers on the bronze level only get accident-related insurance coverage, per the report.

The benefits change on a weekly basis, and workers have to execute “perfect” deliveries that meet several customer satisfaction conditions in order to earn points that allow them to avail insurance privileges at the different levels.

Many of the 40 Swiggy drivers interviewed in the report expressed confusion and distress at the new insurance policy, which is reportedly provided by Reliance General Insurance.

Swiggy did not take part in Rest of World’s story but later shared a post about its insurance policy.
