DoorDash Admits Mistakes in $131.5M Settlement over NYC Worker Pay
The company will pay $12.3 million to workers and a $16.7 million city fine after disputes over pay calculations and late payments.
- On Tuesday, DoorDash reached a $131.5 million settlement with New York City's Department of Consumer and Worker Protection over pay rule violations affecting roughly 264,000 Dashers. Mayor Zohran Mamdani called it "a historic settlement for workers."
- Violations involved missed or late payments to Dashers, alongside a separate dispute over how DoorDash calculated pay for workers logged into the app but not actively delivering orders.
- The settlement allocates $12.3 million for underpaid or late-paid Dashers, $16.7 million as a fine to the city, and more than $83 million to resolve the on-call pay dispute.
- DoorDash attributed errors to technical bugs and complex delivery situations like orders crossing city boundaries, stating it has corrected software issues and bolstered internal compliance processes.
- NYC enforces a $22.13 minimum hourly pay floor as of April 2026, with the Mamdani government treating enforcement as a priority and planning to extend this requirement to all delivery apps by early 2027.
