A fixed hourly wage is not mandated by this rule, a minimum wage is. So you do this, ready? Everyone continues to drive exactly the way they do right now. All revenues go into one big bank account.
Next, you provide incentive payments for drivers proportional to the extra amount they brought in above and beyond the minimum wage for the hours they drove, as a slice of the pool of revenues after subtracting out minimum wages and benefits. Then you stack rank your drivers at the end of each half, and fire the bottom 20%.
I'm not even advocating this approach, I'm just saying there are ways of incentivizing this that are shown to work. This part here isn't rocket science.
