Gig delivery companies, including Instacart and DoorDash, say they aren't planning any changes in response to a new rule from the Department of Labor.
  • A new federal rule aims to reset how companies determine whether their workers are employees or contractors.
  • But gig delivery companies like DoorDash and Instacart say they don't plan to make any changes.
  • Lawsuits from workers and court rulings on them could decide the rule's effects.

If you make deliveries as a gig worker, don't expect any changes from a new federal rule — at least, not immediately.
