Doordash, around $ 16.75 million for the exploitation of tips in the New York settlement

New York (Diya TV) – Doordash pays 16.75 million US dollars to remedy the claims that it has been deceived by customers and short closures by distracting customer tips in order to subsidize their wages, said the New York Attorney General Letitia James on Monday.

The probe found that from May 2017 to September 2019 Doorash guaranteed customer tips to cover the base wage for its delivery members, who were mentioned as Dasher, instead of contributing the tips for their payment. Customers were not informed about the practice because they believed that the tips would add the wages of employees directly.

“Doorash misled customers who tilted generously and misleaded that who were entitled to be paid for,” said Attorney General James. “This settlement puts millions in the pockets diligently and ensures transparency in Doordash's payment practices in the future.

Part of the agreement is that over 60,000 those affected are issued by reimbursement payments from $ 10,000 to $ 14,000, based on the volume of the period specified during the specified period. Doordash also promised to make changes of guidelines in payment guidelines transparent and to abuse tips.

In an answer, Doordash said that although it is convinced that his practice was “appropriate, as that was paid during this period”, it is happy to complete the matter and continue to offer a flexible way for millions to millions for millions offer people to fulfill their financial efforts. “The company pointed out that the salary model used in this case is no longer available.

According to a similar case, this agreement is made in Illinois, in which Doordash has agreed to pay 11.25 million US dollars for his tips in tips.

In a separate development, Uber Technologies sued Doordash in the past month and claimed that the company had participated with competitive behavior. Uber claims that Doordash restaurants are forceing exclusive offers and increasing the costs for restaurants and consumers. Doordash denied these claims and described them unfounded.

Such legal hurdles indicate the increasing supervision of commercial business activities of ventures for food in the middle of a high growth in the industry, in particular about the amount of the Covid 19 outbreak.
