(a) For purposes of § 20-1523(a) of the Administrative Code, a third-party food delivery service or third-party courier service shall be considered to have charged or imposed a fee on a food delivery worker for the use of a form of payment selected by such service if (1) the service does not offer a form of payment to a food delivery worker free from any fees charged or imposed by a financial intermediary or other person or (2) a fee for payment is charged or imposed on a food delivery worker by any parent, affiliate, or subsidiary entity of the third-party food delivery service or third-party courier service.
(b) A third-party food delivery service or third-party courier service must calculate compensation owed to a food delivery worker for each pay period. The pay period need not coincide with the calendar week but may begin on any day and at any hour of the day. A third-party food delivery service or third-party courier service must establish a single pay period for all food delivery workers it engages. Once the beginning time of the pay period is established, it must remain fixed, and may be changed only if the change is intended to be permanent.
(c) A third-party food delivery service or third-party courier service must pay all compensation owed to each food delivery worker for a pay period no later than seven (7) calendar days after the end of such pay period.
