DoorDash to pay $132 million in NYC over missing wages
The settlement includes more than $83 million to resolve a disagreement over how to calculate pay for time couriers spend online between deliveries.
DoorDash, the prominent U.S. food delivery company, has agreed to pay $131.5 million to New York City to settle a probe into its adherence to minimum wage rules for its delivery workers. The settlement, revealed on Tuesday, entails more than $83 million intended to address a dispute regarding the calculation of pay for the time couriers spend online between deliveries, a stipulation mandated by the city's regulations.
An additional $12.3 million will be allocated to couriers who were underpaid or experienced delays in receiving payment due to incorrect bank information in their accounts. DoorDash is also contributing $16.7 million in fines to New York City's Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, the body responsible for enforcing the pay rule.
