More important than who handles the money, when I think of a contractor, I think of someone that decides how much he/she will do the job for. That's not the case with Uber. Uber decides how much a driver is paid, the drivers can only choose whether or not to do it. That's all well and good, but that seems more like an employer/employee relationship. Another approach to this problem is to have all pay include a benefit portion regardless of the nature of the work. But that is a long time off at best.Remember, the customer doesn’t even pay a driver, the payment goes through Uber.
