“It sends a message to big tech that they can’t exploit their employees.” “This is indeed a tacit admission that (DoorDash couriers) are employees,” said Supervisor Aaron Peskin, whose 2019 complaint about DoorDash wage practices catalyzed the probe that led to the settlement. “That is not part of the settlement but it is the perspective of the city.”
“We believe (DoorDash couriers) were misclassified and should have been employees for years,” said San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu. DoorDash, like other gig companies, is adamant that its workers should be classified as independent contractors.īut city officials involved in the case begged to differ. Although the health care and sick leave requirements both apply to employees, DoorDash said that settling was not an acknowledgment that a judge could have found it to be an employer.
DoorDash, which is headquartered in San Francisco, did not admit wrongdoing.
