New York (CNN Business) DoorDash is finally detailing changes to its controversial tipping policy, one month after the company's CEO promised an update in response to a widespread backlash.

Last month, Since 2017, DoorDash has at times taken a customer's tip and put it toward covering the base pay for that customer's delivery person. This practice made some customers feel they had been duped into footing the bill for delivery workers instead of merely providing an above-and-beyond bonus.Last month, a New York Times report once again put the issue in the spotlight. In response, CEO and cofounder Tony Xu said the company would change its policy moving forward, teasing plans to share more information "in the days to come."

In a blog post Thursday, Xu said the minimum base pay DoorDash provides its delivery workers — called "Dashers" — will increase from $1 to $2, with the potential to be as much as $10, depending on the estimated "duration, distance, and desirability" of a delivery job. The company also said all tips will be added on top of that base pay.

However, delivery workers will not be able to see a breakdown of the per mile and per minute rates included in their base pay, according to a spokesperson for DoorDash.

"The decision to change our model was difficult," Xu said. "We initially resisted change even in the face of public pressure because we built our model in direct response to feedback from Dashers."
