A major settlement has been reached in New York City after allegations that a leading food delivery service systematically underpaid its workers, failing to provide proper compensation for time spent on tasks beyond deliveries. The agreement follows legal action over violations of wage laws, including discrepancies in pay for periods when drivers were logged into the app but not actively delivering orders. Authorities have highlighted the case as part of broader efforts to enforce fair labor standards in the gig economy. The financial penalty underscores growing scrutiny of how companies structure pay for on-demand workers.
