It is our top priority to ensure that you are treated and compensated fairly due to unforeseen circumstances. At GoGet, we try our best to assist GoGetter in getting compensated fairly if there is a change of job scope. The process of making a compensation claim takes time and there are some steps and procedures that you will need to follow. For us to be able to help you, it is extremely important for you to follow the procedures outlined.
What can I get compensation for?
I had to wait longer for the job/spent extra time on this job and want to seek compensation.
I started the job but job is cancelled now, and I want to seek compensation.
I travelled extra distance and want to seek compensation.
Compensation Process:
- GoGetter reports the incident in the app to seek compensation by providing details of the incident together with evidence of supporting documents.
- GoGet support team will investigate and clarify with the Poster or third party(s) involved in the issue within 48 hours or 2 working days.
- GoGet support team will reach out to GoGetter to seek further clarification if required. GoGetter will be notified about the status of the compensation claim.
- In the event, if the compensation claim is successful, GoGet will follow up with the Poster in collecting the due amount, and GoGetter will be paid via GoGet Admin Fee. The compensation amount will be added to your current GoGetter statement by Sunday.
General Rules:
Distance is calculated based on the difference between the initial address written in the app and the new address for return/redelivery/extra delivery via Google map. The shortest route will be used if there are multiple routes suggested on Google map. If the job happened during peak hour, the distance will be based on forecast time stated in Google map. GoGet team has the final decision and disputes on distance will not be accepted. For example, if GoGetter decided to take toll free route which resulted in distance travelled is different from the distance calculated by GoGet team, the dispute will be rejected.
GoGet team have rights to verify your location with our location tracking information stored within the app. GoGetter must allow GoGetter app to track their location to be qualified for compensation relating to location dispute. If GoGetter does not allow GoGet app to track their location, claim for compensation will be denied. Final decision will be depending on the information recorded and captured by GoGet system.
The compensation rate of RM5 for the first 1-5km and RM1/km for bike and RM1.10/km for car for additional km is applicable. The compensation rate is for the extra distance travelled due to circumstances arised. The compensation rate is final and with the assumption that the cost of tolls and parking are included. The revised compensation rate will be effective from 7th June 2021 onwards.
For instance:
- Poster offered a parking fee to be covered for drop off location, when GoGetter arrived for the 1st time, receiver was not around and requested a re-delivery. GoGetter had paid parking for the first attempt. During the re-delivery trip, GoGetter will only be paid for the return fee mileage and no extra compensation on the extra parking cost incurred.
- GoGetter attempted to deliver the item at 1pm, however the receiver was not around and requested GoGetter to redeliver the item at 5pm. The compensation rate remains the same even though it is peak hours. GoGetter has the right to reject the attempted delivery at 5pm if GoGetter is not available to carry out the delivery.
If the extra distance incurred is less than 1km, GoGetter is not eligible to claim for this compensation.
In the event, if the changes of address result in a shorter distance to travel, GoGetter is not entitled to seek any compensation.
There is no compensation for opportunity cost in any circumstances. For example:
- GoGetter claimed JOB A that is worth RM30 and committed to this job. GoGetter saw JOB B that is happening at the same time but with a higher tips, RM45. GoGetter did not take JOB B since he/she has already committed to JOB A. However Poster cancelled JOB A last minute. Compensation is only based on the RM30 job.
- GoGetter claimed a job that is worth RM100 to deliver parcel from Melaka to KL, GoGetter is at KL right now, and decided to travel to Melaka for this job. The job was cancelled last minute when GoGetter arrived at Melaka, GoGetter will only be compensated as per the cancellation fee charged to the Poster, regardless of the actual cost incurred by GoGetter as per the cancellation policy below.
Compensation rate will be rounded to the nearest multiple of 5 cents, for example:
- Distance travelled is 14.7km for car, RM5+(14.7-5)km x RM1.10/km = RM15.67 round down to RM15.65
- Extra distance travelled is 13.5km for bike, 13.5km x RM1/km = RM13.50
- A job is RM13, 50% of the GoGet fee is RM6.50
Reasons Your Compensation Claim May be Rejected
- Insufficient supporting documents or evidence: such as failure to start the job in the system as proof that you are on the job, no location data captured in GoGet system.
- Report was filed via the GoGet app after 48 hours after the incident.
- Job reported from External channels: for example Facebook posts or messenger, GoGet Helpline will not be accepted as a formal report for compensation.
- GoGetter filed under the wrong report reason. However, GoGetter are allowed to resubmit the report under the correct reason within 48 hours of the incident.
- Lack of details to make accurate decisions on investigations. E.g. GoGetter is not able to provide timing information or to detail how long he/she waited.
- Acting without acknowledgment from Poster: For example, when GoGetter arrived at the drop off point, the receiver is not around. Then GoGetter proceeds to return or deliver to the actual address or new location without seeking acknowledgment from the Poster UNLESS the Poster has given the instructions in the job note regarding the location-related issues.
- Started the job without clarifications on the job scope.
- Additional job issue(s) were created due to GoGetter’s actions: E.g. GoGetter is late to pick up because GoGetter was unable to navigate to the pickup location even though full address and information were given, GoGetter is unable to claim for 30 minutes delay.
- Job has existing issues caused by GoGetter violating GoGet's rules: for example, GoGetter requested the receiver to meet at the vehicle and refuse to help unload despite the parking option being selected.
- Other scenarios are up to GoGet admin’s discretion.
Eligibility criteria:
To prove “I have clarified the job with the Poster”:
