DoorDash has agreed to pay $16.75 million to settle a tip-withholding case brought by the New York attorney general. The settlement will be distributed among 63,000 delivery workers who received unfair pay under DoorDash’s guaranteed pay model that ran from May 2017 to September 2019.

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,
