<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hi Michel,</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">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. </font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">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.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">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.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Key findings include:</font></p>
<ul>
<li><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">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</font></li>
<li><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">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</font></li>
<li><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">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</font></li></ul>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">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></font><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br>Thanks,<br>Kelsey</font></p><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
