The Dortash Food delivery service will pay $ 17 million for the inclusion of tips in mail salaries

For example, if the messaging service had to receive $ 10 from the employer for the order, and the client left him advice for an amount of $ 3, then the company only paid $ 7 to his employee. According to the Office of the Attorney General, in the indicated period, Dordash received more than 11 million orders.

Consequences for the company. In accordance with the conciliation agreement between the Dordash and the New York Attorney General, the company will pay almost $ 17 million to its employees. The number of victims can be 60 thousand, and the amount of payment per person is $ 14 thousand.

According to the attorney general of the New York Leticia James, the company “deceives its customers and deprived those who made possible the operation of their business model.” The clients thought they supported the delivery workers with advice, but instead “subsidized Dordash,” James added.

The company did not admit that they violated the law and did not accept the results of the Attorney General’s investigation. “Although we believe that practice [вознаграждения сотрудников] Dordash properly reflected the concept of remuneration during this period, we are glad to have solved this long -term problem <...>“, – said the representative of the delivery service.
