And in the other 49 states, they get to keep all of it. Small cost of doing business.

It was an implementation error in a local payment structure, so people in other states weren't affected.

except this establishes case law and creates a template for other states to pursue similar cases (which looks like it would include actual reports to labor agencies for monitoring)

> The settlement goes beyond compensating for past violations. Going forward, as part of the settlement, DoorDash must submit detailed data reports to DCWP every month for three years, which the agency will use to monitor the company’s compliance with the law and the terms of the settlement.

I thought the gig economy was all rainbows and sunshines, and nothing underhanded ever happened.
