Evri says it and GMB have reached a proposed two-year agreement that the union is recommending to members for acceptance. The company says the package would provide a guaranteed minimum equivalent hourly rate of £15 nationally and £15.80 in London for eligible couriers.
What the proposal includes
- Minimum equivalent hourly-rate protection for eligible couriers.
- Enhanced protection of existing earnings and rates for eligible couriers.
- Additional holiday benefits for eligible Evri Plus couriers.
- One-off payments linked to the agreement of up to £1,250.
- More opportunities for couriers to join the Evri Plus programme.
Why the wording matters
This is not a blanket £15-an-hour employment wage for every Evri courier. Evri describes it as a minimum equivalent hourly rate for eligible couriers, and says member acceptance is still required. Check the final ballot outcome, eligibility and your own courier agreement before treating any figure or payment as confirmed.
