This exploratory and explanatory monograph, based on a PIBIC-UFBA research and financed by CNPQ, aims to analyze the Rappi couriers´ labor conditions at national level. The references are Abilio (2017), Antunes (2018), Dardot; Laval (2016), Filgueiras (2021), Grohmann (2020),Oliveira; Carelli; Grillo (2020), Oliveira (2021), Santos (2000), Schwab (2016), Slee (2017), Stefano (2020).It seeks to investigate the profile of these workers, the working hours and remuneration earned, the mechanisms of targets and punishments which they are submitted, as well as the risks that they are subject, using empirical research. 101 workers were interviewed through two Google Forms questionnaires application, one of them was applied personally by the interviewer and the other was self-administered, as the main method. The semi-structured non-participant observation was a secondary method, which aims to collect the experience report of couriers and the analysis of their labor conditions. Also it seeks to analyze under doctrine and legislation the constitutive elements of the employment relationship and to verify, in labor conditions, the legal nature between couriers and Rappi relationship. The partial results of these interviews indicate that the majority profile of couriers corresponds to one who works more than 44 (forty-four) hours per week, earns approximately two minimum wages per hour, does not calculate the abatement of costs for the activity development, does not pay social security contribution, suffered some type of blockage or punishment and recognizes that there is a platform control; however he does not consider himself as an employee.
