The average payment per eligible rider will be £440.
Every rider who has worked for the delivery service for at least one year and has completed 2,000 orders will receive £200.
The maximum payment available will be made to those who have completed the highest number of orders in each market, meaning hundreds are set to receive the maximum of £10,000.
