Doordash Pays $16.8 Million to Ny Delivery Workers After Misusing Their Tips
DoorDash has agreed to pay restitution to approximately 63,000 New York delivery workers who were subjected to the company's "guaranteed pay" model that subsidized payments against customer tips. The payment is part of a settlement with the New York Attorney General's office and will be distributed among workers who had tips withheld from them under the old system. DoorDash will also cover up to $1 million in administrator costs.
- By addressing this issue, DoorDash has sent a clear message that companies must prioritize transparency and fairness in their treatment of workers, particularly when it comes to tipping practices.
- How can we ensure that similar practices are not repeated in other industries, where the lines between employee compensation and customer expectations are often blurred?
