The payments, part of a settlement with the New York attorney general’s office over a practice that ended in 2019, will return as much as $14,000 to some workers.

DoorDash will pay nearly $17 million in a settlement after the food delivery platform used customer tips to subsidize the wages of New York delivery workers.

DoorDash will pay almost $17 million to settle claims it unfairly used tips to subsidize delivery workers' wages in New York.

The city's top prosecutor said if you were a DoorDash delivery worker in New York between 2017 and 2019 you may be entitled to restitution.

A New York probe found DoorDash secretly used tips to offset delivery worker salaries, New York Attorney General Letitia James said.

"Customers were misled into believing their tips would directly benefit Dashers," the attorney general's office said in a news release.

DoorDash will pay almost $17 million to settle claims that it unfairly used customer tips to subsidize the wages of its delivery workers in New York.

DoorDash used customer tips to pay workers’ wages, but it must give that money back.

But instead of paying that guarantee and letting drivers keep their tips, DoorDash counted the tip toward their base pay and kept what was left. Let’s say a driver is guaranteed $10 on a delivery. DoorDash would pay a minimum of $1 of that no matter what,

This is just fundamentally unfair,” New York Attorney General Letitia James said during a recent news conference

DoorDash Inc., the biggest food-delivery firm in the US by market share, agreed to pay New York couriers $16.8 million in back pay to resolve a state investigation into its payment practices.
