The settlement includes $12.3 million for over 264,000 delivery workers who were underpaid or paid late, as well as more than $83 million to resolve disputes over how to calculate pay for time spent on-call between deliveries. The city's Department of Consumer and Worker Protection will receive $16.7 million in fines as part of the agreement.
DoorDash admitted that it made errors but maintained that its approach was "fair, practical, and legal." In a statement, the company said: "We screwed up, and our mistakes meant some NYC Dashers were underpaid or paid late. We're making things right by paying every Dasher what they're owed and fixing what caused this."
The settlement also requires DoorDash to submit monthly pay data to the city for three years to ensure compliance with delivery worker pay laws. The city will audit this data, and two worker advocacy groups will develop software to help drivers share their trip and earnings data with the agency.
