The Fair Work Commission has issued a new minimum standards order for gig workers, including on-demand food, beverage and grocery delivery drivers.

The standards, released on Tuesday, stipulate that on-demand delivery workers must be paid a minimum rate of $31.30 or up to $32 per hour, depending on the type of vehicle used. The order also specifies that delivery platforms must insure workers for on-the-job injuries.
