DoorDash Paying Drivers $17M for Stolen Tips | The payment is part of a settlement with the New York Attorney General.


The payment is part of a settlement with the New York Attorney General.

New York’s lawsuit alleged that between May 2017 and September 2019, tens of thousands of Dashers were misled by DoorDash’s pay model. DoorDash would pay a minimum of $1 of that no matter what, but the rest would scale based on how the person who placed the order tipped. DoorDash did eventually change its payment model to ensure “earnings will increase by the exact amount a customer tips on every order,” but New York’s case represents drivers finally getting those tips they earned during the period when the company was less transparent about who was actually pocketing that extra cash.
