Food delivery giant DoorDash has agreed to pay $131.5 million to settle a probe by New York City authorities investigating potential violations of wage laws affecting its delivery workers. The investigation reportedly examined whether the company misclassified workers as independent contractors, denying them minimum wage and overtime protections. Authorities alleged that the company’s pay structure may have left workers earning below legal thresholds despite long hours. The settlement marks one of the largest penalties in recent years for labor disputes in the gig economy.
