The average payment is about 2,000 yuan for five insurances and one housing fund. Riders can also enjoy statutory welfare holidays, annual leave, family gifts, physical examinations, paid sick leave, charity funds and many other benefits. Considering that new rider partners need a familiarization process, under the premise of basic attendance, the company will provide a minimum guaranteed salary of at least 5,000 yuan for full-time riders in the first three months of employment, with more work and more pay. In addition, we will also provide career development opportunities for outstanding full-time riders to be promoted to deputy station chiefs and station chiefs, and encourage them to pass on their experience in running orders to more riders to help everyone increase their income.

                            Meituan: "Because of using dual-opening or JD.com software, we have been permanently stopped from accepting orders" is a malicious Photoshop rumor
                        
                            On April 27, Meituan issued a statement saying that after clarifying the rumor that "going to other platforms to run orders will be permanently banned by Meituan", there are still rumor pictures on social platforms that the rider app shows "the reason for permanent suspension of orders is: the use of dual-opening or JD software". After verification, the picture comes from the normal prompt page of the platform banning illegal order grabbing plug-ins, but some netizens with IP addresses in Guangdong maliciously photoshopped the picture, and a very small number of netizens spread it in WeChat groups. At present, the company has fixed evidence on the spread of rumors and will protect its own rights and interests through legal means. For the fake posing accounts and behind-the-scenes promoters who maliciously publish the above-mentioned false pictures and continue to spread rumors, the company will also increase the intensity of evidence fixation and crackdown.
