DoorDash to Pay $16.75M to Drivers Over Tip Misuse
2025-02-25
DoorDash will pay $16.75 million to over 60,000 drivers in New York after a lawsuit alleging the company misused tips. Between 2017 and 2019, DoorDash allegedly used tips to subsidize its guaranteed minimum wage, keeping the difference. While the company claimed drivers received 100% of tips, the lawsuit argued this was misleading as tips were factored into the base pay. This deceptive practice is finally being addressed, with eligible drivers set to receive compensation.
