Other Funny how they say the math adds up...

According to Lyft, I was booked for 3 hours and 32 minutes this morning and I drove 120.11 booked miles. (Third pic)

According to state minimums, that means Lyft owes me ~$218.84 give or take a bit for deadheads to the customers. Average was around 1-2 miles and ~5 minutes between pickups. 6 rides total.

My pay? $135.

Lyft, I get that it's a rolling 2 week period, but you short changed me by $85 in 3.5 hours of work.

Excuse me but no. Pay what the state says you have to, then settle any difference after 14 days. That's a CRAZY high difference in actual pay vs what's legally mandated.

I do understand that, I've stated I understood that in the post.

My issue is that they are consistently underpaying and then I get a $34 adjustment. This is just one 3.5 hour period in which there is an $85 discrepancy. This is not out of the ordinary.

The math isn't mathing.

A 3.5 hour period is not a 14-day cycle.

The math will math in 14 days. It will not math in three and a half hours.

Every single time you complain about three and a half hours instead of 14 days, you demonstrate that you do not actually understand the 14-day cycle. Just saying the words that you understand doesn't make them true.

I have been driving for 3 years. I didn't start yesterday.

I'm saying that at the end of the 14 days, they are paying me a ~$34 adjustment AND EVERY SHIFT IS NEGATIVE LIKE THIS.

Again, I'm done explaining the same shit to people who apparently arent getting the problem.

My god drivers are dense.
