'Throw the parcel at the back door' - Evri couriers tell of pressure to earn a decent wage
Evri couriers face pressure to earn decent wages, leading to reports of missing parcels and mismanagement. Recent investigations found growing work pressures were causing problems, with couriers being instructed to cut corners and even throw parcels to meet high delivery demands. Changes in pay rates, particularly for "small packets," have also impacted couriers' earnings, leading to concerns about fair compensation and compliance with minimum wage laws. Despite claims of meeting wage standards, Evri faces scrutiny over delivery issues and customer dissatisfaction, prompting further investigation into its practices.
