Overview

  • A labor judge directed Foodinho to pay a €0.30 water reimbursement for each delivery completed when temperatures are 25°C or higher.
  • The order requires providing every rider with a visor cap, UV‑filter sunglasses, high‑SPF sunscreen, a thermal bottle, and soluble mineral salts.
  • Foodinho must convene the territorial workers’ safety representative for Palermo and Trapani for a preventive consultation on heat risks that considers age, gender, pregnancy, location, and contract type.
  • The company must add a dedicated heat‑risk section to its risk‑assessment document (DVR) after that consultation.
  • The ruling strengthens a July measure after finding Glovo’s 2/4/8% heat bonus and later 10‑cent reimbursements inadequate, replacing them with higher payments and formal safety duties.
