The Deliveroo delivery platform condemned for concealed work

For many delivery people, it’s a victory, but for Deliveroo, it’s another setback. The meal delivery platform was sentenced by the Paris court on Thursday, September 1. She will have to pay 9.7 million euros in arrears of social contributions and increase to Urssaf for the offense of concealed work.

Deliveroo allegedly concealed 2,286 delivery jobs, Hee-de-France, between April 1, 2015 and September 30, 2016. Last July, the company had already been sentenced to criminal charges for concealed work. In the wake of this new conviction, the British platform disputes the fairness of the decision and has announced its intention to appeal.
