DoorDash has agreed to pay New York City $131 million to settle allegations that the company failed to properly compensate delivery workers for time spent waiting for orders, violating local labor laws. The settlement follows an investigation into whether the app misclassified workers and underpaid them during periods when they were logged into the platform but not actively delivering food. Authorities accused the company of exploiting loopholes in wage regulations, leaving workers without proper compensation for downtime. The case highlights ongoing disputes over gig economy labor practices and the financial accountability of major delivery services.
