Uber and 99: Minimum wage expected for drivers
One highlight of the new labor regulations for this area proposed by the government is to establish a minimum wage for drivers. In this way, Uber and 99 professionals could earn up to R$1,400 per hour.

This implies that if a driver works 8 hours a day for 20 days of the month, his/her income would be R$4,800. A significant evolution in the pay structure is that the salary would be based on the hours actually worked. However, both drivers and couriers express a preference for basing their salary on the hours they are online on the apps.

A crucial point of the proposal is the mandatory contribution to Social Security. Thus, not only Uber and 99 drivers will contribute, but the companies themselves as well. These contributions will be discounted at source and collected directly by the platforms.
With such a contribution, drivers gain access to social security benefits, including retirement, paid vacations and sick pay.
Consequently, the plan determines that drivers contribute 7.5% of their earnings, based on 25% of the value per hour worked, which gives R$ 7.50. In return, companies will contribute 20% of the total earned by professionals.
