A major settlement has been reached in a class-action lawsuit against DoorDash, with the company agreeing to pay $131 million to compensate delivery workers in New York City for alleged underpayment of wages. The case stems from claims that workers were not properly reimbursed for expenses and were paid below minimum wage after accounting for costs like vehicle maintenance and gas. Legal proceedings highlighted discrepancies between DoorDash’s stated pay rates and the actual earnings of drivers once deductions were factored in. The resolution marks one of the largest payouts in a dispute over gig-economy labor practices in the state.
