Glovo, a home food delivery company, has been fined 38.1 million euros by the Labour and Social Security Inspectorate in Spain for misusing delivery riders registered under the rider law. The company was fined 32.9 million euros for using 7,022 workers in Madrid without registering them with Social Security and a further 5.2 million euros for having 813 irregular workers without work permits. The fines and settlement proceedings amount to 56.7 million euros, and the Ministry of Labour is considering taking the company to the Public Prosecutor’s Office for a crime of exploitation. Glovo has accumulated over 205.3 million euros in fines in Spain for irregularly employing 37,348 workers. The company plans to appeal the proposed penalty, stating that the inspection period referred to in the report is “prior” to the entry into force of the rider law and that the proposed sanction refers to an operating model that no longer exists in Spain.
