<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hey Michel,</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I’m following up on a new data study around the sharing economy and the challenges on-demand drivers face. </font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">As more people turn to the sharing economy for employment, Runzheimer <a href="https://www.runzheimer.com/resources/sharing-economy-report" target="_blank">data</a> found that almost half (48%) of gig economy drivers have reported driving for their ridesharing company while on-the-clock for their full-time, non-sharing economy job. </font></p>

<p>Hi Michel,</p>
<p>As Uber gears up for another class-action lawsuit in its pursuit of lenient workplace standards, 61% of sharing economy drivers are continuing to pay for a portion, if not all, of their vehicle maintenance and repairs. </p>
<p>Since the majority of ride-hailing services classify its workers as independent contractors, sharing economy employees aren’t granted government-mandated wage standards, overtime pay or proper reimbursement protocol.</p>
<p>A Runzheimer <a href="https://www.runzheimer.com/resources/sharing-economy-report" target="_blank">study</a> released today surveyed adults who actively drive for sharing economy companies, delving into how sharing economy brands reimburse and compensate drivers, as well as drivers’ perceptions of their allowances and benefits.</p>
<p>Key findings include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Almost half (48%) of all drivers have logged miles for their sharing economy gig while on the clock for their full-time, non-sharing economy job</li>
<li>89% of sharing economy drivers track their on-the-job mileage, but the majority (72%) of this group do so manually, or using generic solutions</li>
<li>93% of sharing economy drivers feel they would have more time to spend working if their employer offered tools that made it easier to track mileage</li></ul>
<p>I’m happy to share a PDF version of the full report and put you in touch with Austin Klein from Runzheimer to discuss the study’s findings in-depth. <br><br>Thanks,<br>Kelsey</p><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
