DoorDash is paying restitution after keeping tips from as many as 63,000 of its New York delivery workers thanks to a settlement with the New York Attorney General’s office, The New York Times reports.

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,

DoorDash allegedly used delivery workers’ tips to subsidize their base pay, the New York attorney general said.

DoorDash agrees to pay $16.75 million to over 60,000 New York delivery workers following allegations of misusing customer tips to subsidize base wages.

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.

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 $16.75 million to settle a lawsuit that accused the delivery platform of pocketing workers' tips..
