CA Sitters:
Connection between settlement & email later in same month "A change to how you enter your rates"?
Feb.. 28 email for sitters in CALIFORNIA vague about why rates changed. Now that the $18 Million class action settlement re. Sportsman v. Rover was public earlier in Feb. it makes sense!
NEW HELP Center link contains errant info, citing 20% fees. For some sitters (started Prior to March 2016) it was 15%.Now, it will be 25%! https://support.rover.com/hc/en-us/articles/12439190554132-Fees-and-rates-in-California BTW 25 % for ALL CA customers confirmed by email from support today!
Interesting that the Sportsman v. Rover case settled in Feb. 2023 resulted in “As part of the settlement agreement, Rover has agreed to change its fee structure and will no longer take the 20% cut from providers on its platform. “ Creatively, following month charge CA clients 25%! https://www.mselaborlaw.com/news/rover-settles-misclassification-case-18-million
