Verification Date: October 3, 2026| According to the explanation issued by the Ministry of Labor on July 20, 2026, Article 5 of the Special Act on Food Delivery Services stipulates that the base pay for each order must be calculated based on the duration of the delivery service and must not be less than 1.25 times the minimum hourly wage; currently, the minimum pay per order is 45 yuan. This guaranteed amount will be adjusted in the future in line with changes to the minimum wage.
The service period for food delivery runs from the time an order is accepted until it is completed, including time spent traveling to the restaurant, waiting for the meal, delivering the order, and waiting for the customer to pick it up. Promotional bonuses may not be included in the base pay; for stacked orders, combined deliveries, or deliveries made along the way, the service time and base pay must be calculated on a per-order basis.
Based on the 2026 minimum wage of 196 yuan per hour, 1.25 times that amount is 245 yuan. The minimum base pay per order is the higher of “service time ÷ 60 × 245 yuan” and “45 yuan”; For example, for a 30-minute service, the minimum is 122.5 yuan. This is a verification of the base pay per order and does not mean that the entire time spent online will result in an income of 245 yuan.
If two or three orders overlap in time, the overlapping minutes must be counted separately toward the service time for each order. When the start and end times of each order are exactly the same, the total minimum guarantee may be two or three times that of a single order; however, since actual order duration, base fare, incentives, and tips vary, total earnings cannot be directly calculated by applying a multiplier. Uber Official StatementThe system reviews and automatically makes up any shortfall in base pay every 14 days; it does not unconditionally issue an additional biweekly allowance.
During the verification process, you should retain the order acceptance and completion times, base compensation, adjustment items, and settlement details for each order.
