DRIVER PAY RULES
Beginning February 1, 2019, all High-Volume For-Hire Services (HVFHS), including Uber, Lyft, Via and Juno, must pay their drivers at least the minimum per-trip payment amount established by the Taxi and Limousine Commission’s Driver Pay Rules.
The minimum pay rates can be found on the TLC website where drivers can also use the Driver Pay Calculator to determine the minimum they must be paid for each trip.
All FHV bases must also provide drivers with receipts showing all payments and deductions. Drivers who lease their vehicles must receive written agreements in plain language specifying all costs as well as receipts showing all deductions and charges.

Also beginning February 1, 2019, the maximum yellow taxi driver credit card surcharge will be reduced to $7 daily and $49 weekly. Yellow taxi drivers can lease taxis for shifts under 12 hours and require taxi owners compensate drivers for the cost of damage to the taxi that the driver paid to the vehicle owner when the owner was later reimbursed through a separate source.
