DoorDash has agreed to pay a $131.5 million settlement to New York City regulators after admitting to underpaying thousands of delivery drivers correctly or on time. The company blamed the issue on complex changes in New York's minimum wage laws, technical glitches, and multi-stop routes. DoorDash admitted that systemic errors led to approximately $6.6 million in wages never reaching workers and another $5.7 million arriving late.

Story summary
DoorDash agreed to a $131 million settlement with New York City in March after being accused of underpaying delivery workers. The settlement includes $83 million to resolve disputes over pay calculations for waiting times and another $25 million for past underpayments or delays. DoorDash admitted its mistakes were not intentional but still apologized, saying "we screwed up." About 264,000 workers, known as Dashers, will receive payouts with a median amount of around $48. The city's Department of Consumer and Worker Protection initiated the investigation, alleging DoorDash and Uber Eats deprived workers of more than $550 million in tips through "design tricks." Mayor Zohran Mamdani called this settlement the largest labor enforcement action in NYC history.
