Food delivery giant DoorDash has agreed to pay $131.5 million to settle an investigation by New York City authorities over alleged violations of the city’s minimum-wage and labor laws. The probe focused on whether the company properly classified its workers and ensured they earned at least the minimum wage during delivery shifts. Regulators claimed the company’s pay structure may have left some workers earning below legal thresholds, prompting the settlement. The resolution underscores ongoing scrutiny of gig-economy labor practices in major cities.
