App drivers and couriers: what changes for 2023

Working as a driver or app delivery person can be a choice for many people, but this option does not guarantee safety in case of eventualities. However, there is a way to guarantee this security without needing an employment relationship: working as a MEI (Individual Micro-entrepreneur). If you work through an app and this is your main income, registering as a MEI can offer you advantages and security.

MEI is an option for people who work autonomously or without a fixed employment relationship. When registering as a MEI, the worker can count on benefits and security in case of eventualities. It is important to highlight that the value that the worker manages to profit from the service does not prevent the registration as MEI.

From the moment the individual registers as a MEI, he becomes a legal entity and needs to declare the entire financial flow. In addition, you have to pay a fixed monthly fee, which is calculated based on your annual billing.

It is important to mention that, even working as MEI, the worker is not entitled to benefits such as vacation, 13th salary, among others. However, the worker can count on accident insurance, private pension and access to credit.

In addition, working as an MEI also allows the worker to have access to government programs, such as the Bolsa Família and the Emergency Aid, which can help supplement the family's income in case of need.

Another advantage of working as a MEI is the possibility of issuing an invoice, which can be advantageous for workers who need to prove income to obtain credit or financing. In addition, working as an MEI also allows the worker to have access to qualification and training programs, which can help to improve their professional qualification.

Despite the advantages, it is important to remember that working as an MEI also implies responsibilities, such as the need to keep up-to-date accounting and tax records, as well as the payment of taxes and fees. Therefore, it is important that the worker is aware of his responsibilities and obligations when registering as a MEI.
