Deliveroo threatens to terminate workers after losing their contracts

Deliveroo has admitted to losing some of its workers' contracts and has threatened to suspend some of them from getting future work on its app. Key points: Deliveroo is "not currently able" to locate some of its workers' contracts Its delivery riders have been given until Friday to either sign new contracts, or produce their signed agreements The company will not reveal how its contracts were lost Deliveroo riders are paid $9-10 per delivery The food delivery company sent an email to its riders last Friday, admitting it is "not currently able" to locate a record of the agreements they signed. The company's email sets out dire consequences for riders who do not comply with either option by July 20: "If we have not received a valid signed supplier agreement within the next seven days, your account will be considered non-compliant and your access to the Deliveroo platform will be suspended." "It's a little bit puzzling, given that Deliveroo is an online platform, that it doesn't apparently retain copies of contracts it executes with its riders," he said. The Transport Workers Union has told the ABC that it was also contacted by Deliveroo riders regarding the "missing contracts" email.
