New York City has finalized a $131.5 million settlement with DoorDash, marking the largest resolution for delivery workers in US municipal history.

DoorDash has acknowledged the errors, attributing them to technical bugs and complex delivery scenarios, and has committed to paying affected workers in the coming weeks. The settlement also mandates three years of data reporting and the development of software to allow workers to monitor pay algorithms.

New York City announced a record $131.5 million settlement with DoorDash after a probe found the company systematically underpaid delivery workers from 2022 to 2026. About 260,000 workers will receive direct payments totaling $115 million (with some eligible for up to $5,000 each), while the remainder funds fines and a three-year program for the city to collect and analyze worker-pay data. The deal also requires ongoing reporting of payments and gives workers the ability to crowdsource data to scrutinize the app’s pay algorithms. Mayor Mamdani criticized DoorDash’s CEO over the so-called 'greedy algorithm,' while the company apologized for unintentional underpayments.
DoorDash will pay NYC $131 million to settle claims it underpaid or paid dashers late, including $83 million to fix pay calculations for couriers logged in but not delivering and $12.3 million for underpayments or late payments; fewer than 1% of Dashers (about 264,000) were affected, with a median payout around $48. The issues arose from cross-boundary deliveries, multi-location pickups/drop-offs, cancellations, and technical/banking glitches. The deal follows a prior city report on tipping that reduced driver tips. DoorDash apologized, saying "we screwed up" and pledged to pay dashers in full and on time. The settlement ends the NYC dispute and underscores ongoing scrutiny of gig-pay and tipping practices.
