DoorDash, the leading food-delivery firm in the U.S., said it agreed to a $131.5 million settlement with New York City to resolve a probe into its compliance with minimum-pay rules for couriers.
The settlement, announced Tuesday, includes more than $83 million to resolve a disagreement over how to calculate pay for time that the workers spend online between deliveries, a requirement under the city’s rules.
A total of $12.3 million will go toward couriers who were underpaid or paid late due to invalid bank information on their accounts. DoorDash is also paying $16.7 million in fines to the city’s Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP), which enforces the pay rule.
