We know that many customers value your hard work and want to show their gratitude by giving tips. To stay in line with current tax laws and registration requirements, the following rules apply to tips and gifts as a Driver in Oda:
π°No cash: We do not allow cash tips. In Norway, all tips must be reported as taxable income. Since we do not have a system to track and process cash payments correctly we cannot accept this.
β»οΈNo "pant": Pant is also counted as cash, and we therefore can't accept pant as tips from the customer. Collecting bottles as tips is also problematic because it can easily be perceived as stealing from the customer.
π«No alcohol or tobacco: We can not accept as tips:
Wine, beer, or any alcohol
Cigarettes or snus
π«Small treats are good: If a customer wants to give you a little something you can enjoy on the road, thatβs totally fine. Feel free to say yes to:
A coffee, a soda, ice cream, a chocolate bar, or similar smaller treats.
Smaller merch products (pen, reflectors, or similar).
π«ΈHow to turn it down: If someone offers you money, pant, or tobacco or alcohol, just tell them:
"Thatβs really kind of you, but weβre actually not allowed to take tips like pant/money/alcohol. Just happy to help!"
