SEATTLE (AP) Online food delivery platform Postmates has agreed to pay almost $1 million to settle allegations it violated the city’s paid sick leave policies for gig workers, Seattle’s Office of Labor Standards said.
The city said in a news release that most of the money will go toward back wages and damages to the 1,646 Postmates gig workers in Seattle, The Seattle Times reported.
The city began investigating last fall after drivers alleged Postmates didn’t pay them for paid sick time off under the city’s Gig Worker Paid Sick and Safe Time policy, which went into effect in July 2020.
