What about Non-Working days and Public Holidays?

  • A "working day" refers to any day from Monday to Saturday. Sunday and Public Holidays are considered non-working days.
Non-Working days and Public Holidays are not counted when your LDR is calculated.

What would happen if I do not meet the target above?

Enforcement actions may be taken depending on how high the number of late orders are. Order Volume Limits may be applied as follows:
  • LDR is ≥10% but <30% -> You will only be able to sell up to 90% of your average daily order volume
  • LDR is ≥30% but <50% -> You will only be able to sell up to 70% of your average daily order volume
  • LDR is ≥50% -> You will only be able to sell up to 50% of your average daily order volume
You may also receive Violation Points as follows:
  • LDR is ≥ 10% -> 2 Violation Points
  • LDR is ≥ 10% and late-dispatched orders ≥ 50 -> 4 Violation Points
