The New Ride-Hailing App Rivaling Uber and Other Platforms Is Called Garupa and Has a Strict Hiring System, Learn More

Garupa, a ride-hailing app competing with giants like Uber and 99, announces a significant change in its hiring model. The company, established in 2017, has opted to offer its drivers the option to adhere to the CLT regime, a decision that aims, among other goals, to eliminate the dreaded dynamic pricing, a practice that often burdens the user.

Initially implemented in Balneário Camboriú (SC), Porto Alegre (RS), and Santa Maria (RS), Garupa’s CLT regime offers drivers the choice between maintaining their autonomy as freelancers or adhering to a formal contract. For those opting for CLT, the compensation includes a fixed salary of R$ 3 thousand, in addition to benefits such as meal vouchers, 13th salary, and paid vacation, providing financial security previously uncommon for app workers.

The company emphasizes that the selection process for drivers under the CLT regime will be even more stringent than that already adopted for freelancers. In addition to presenting negative criminal background checks, following legal guidelines, drivers will also undergo a toxicological exam. The training on the company’s conduct standards and frequent retraining are integral parts of this new model.

Garupa, Regulation, and the Valorization of CLT Drivers

The current scenario, marked by debates about the regulation of app-based work, influences Garupa’s decision. The company behind the app mentions the Ministry of Labor’s Working Group, responsible for discussing specific legislation for this type of work.

By formalizing its drivers under the CLT model, the company seeks not only to anticipate possible regulations but also to value its collaborators. The initiative to implement CLT in the services of the app aims to combat dynamic pricing, a practice considered harmful to the market and users, promoting a more balanced relationship between drivers and passengers.

This move by Garupa may indicate a growing trend in the transportation app sector, where the pursuit of greater safety and benefits for workers becomes a priority. The impact of this change, both for the company and for the drivers, will be closely monitored in the dynamic landscape of the ride-hailing market in Brazil.
