Can Uber, DoorDash, or Lyft drivers claim employee rights in California?
Answer
It is complex. AB5 (2019) established the ABC test creating a presumption of employee status for most workers. However, Proposition 22 (2020) created a special classification for app-based transportation and delivery drivers. Despite Prop 22, gig workers may still have rights regarding minimum earnings guarantees, expense reimbursement, and certain benefits. The legal landscape continues to evolve.
