Increase in the minimum remuneration of independent delivery drivers

On July 10, 2026, a amendment to the collective agreement of 20 april 2023 has been signed by the representative organizations of self-employed workers and the Association of Self-Employed Platforms (API). Approved by two decrees - on 12 and 26 September - this amendment modifies several aspects of the relationship between independent delivery agents and the delivery platforms that employ them.

Until now, independent delivery drivers earned €11.75 per hour of activity. The hourly wage is now at least €19.

This new guaranteed hourly wage applies to:

• to all platforms;
• to all independent deliverers, regardless of their status (self-employed or individual business).

This amendment also modifies the method of calculating working time. It thus provides that this guarantee is now calculated on a weekly basis, and no longer on a monthly basis, as was the case previously. This evolution allows a follow-up better adapted to the reality of the activity of the delivery drivers.

Thus, if the activity income paid by the platform during the week (from Monday to midnight to Sunday 23:59) does not allow to reach the minimum income guarantee (19 € / hour of activity), the platform must pay the delivery person a supplement to compensate for this deviation at the latest 7 days after the end of the week concerned. This ensures a predictable and regular income for the delivery person.
