---Earlier:---Australia just gave a quarter of a million gig workers a pay floor they've waited years for, and the modest cost of that fairness will likely show up in delivery fees rather than headline inflation. The Fair Work Commission's order, issued late Tuesday, requires food and grocery delivery workers to be paid an hourly rate of at least A$31.30, equivalent to around $22.11, well above Australia's national minimum wage of A$26.44. The order takes effect on August 17 and is expected to benefit approximately 250,000 workers. Under the new rules, workers will receive the minimum hourly rate for engaged time, the period stretching from accepting a delivery job to completing it. Transport Workers Union national secretary Michael Kaine said gig workers had been left outside Australia's workplace systems for far too long, and described the new standards as world leading, adding the union intends to build on them over time.
