Singapura, 24/10/18 (SOLUSSInews) – By the end of this month, Grab will be introducing a tiered rewards programme called Emerald Circles, for its drivers. With weekly trip targets at the core, Grab guarantees gross monthly incomes of $6,888 to $11,888 before deducting expenses such as fuel, rental fees and 20% commission fee. Grab Singapore Head Lim Kell Jay said on Monday (Oct 22) that if a driver fails to reach this amount despite meeting the weekly targets, the company will top up the amount.
The Emerald Circle consists of four tiers: Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, and Diamond. At the lowest Emerald tier, Grab guarantees a gross monthly income of $2,400 if they hit 50 trips a week, and up to $6,888 if they hit 140 trips per week. Meanwhile, the highest Diamond tier (invite-only) promises drivers a gross income of $4,500 if they hit 75 trips a week, and up to $11,888 if they can hit 180 trips per week. All drivers, apart from GrabHitch drivers, automatically start out in the Emerald tier and they can progress to the next tier by accumulating Experience Points (XP) when they pay a commission fee to Grab. This Emerald Circle scheme will also give drivers access to fuel discounts, medical and dental benefits, among others. Beyond these perks, Lim said that Grab will be partnering various food and beverage outlets to offer its drivers $1 breakfasts by November. He added that he knows that many of its driver-partners are unhappy, and they are working hard to address their concerns with the launch of new initiatives. Thats according to Vulvan Post. (S-VP/jr)
