DoorDash will pay $131.5 million to settle allegations that it underpaid delivery workers in New York City, Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced on Tuesday.

DoorDash pagará 131,5 millones de dólares para resolver las acusaciones de que pagó menos de lo debido a los repartidores en la ciudad de Nueva York, anunció el martes el alcalde Zohran Mamdani.

The settlement, which officials described as the largest labor agreement in the city's history, also requires the company to submit to a new monitoring system in order to ensure compliance with the city's laws on pay for delivery workers.

El acuerdo, que los funcionarios calificaron como el mayor convenio laboral en la historia de la ciudad, también exige que la empresa se someta a un nuevo sistema de monitoreo con el fin de garantizar el cumplimiento de las leyes de pago a los repartidores en la ciudad.

In a statement, DoorDash acknowledged its mistakes and declared: "To put it simply, we screwed up."

Mediante un comunicado, DoorDash reconoció sus errores y declaró: “En pocas palabras, la cagamos”.

"While these mistakes were not intentional, that does not make them acceptable.

Si bien estos errores no fueron intencionales, ello no los torna aceptables.

At DoorDash, we take pride in operational excellence, and this was neither excellent nor acceptable.

En DoorDash nos enorgullecemos de la excelencia operativa, y esto no fue ni excelente ni aceptable.

Dashers must always be paid in full and on time.

A los Dashers se les debe remunerar íntegramente, en tiempo y forma, siempre.

We are sorry that we let the Dashers down," the company stated.

Lamentamos haber defraudado a los Dashers”, expresó la empresa.

According to the City Council, the bulk of the settlement will go towards reimbursing more than 260,000 workers whom DoorDash underpaid, failed to pay at all, or paid late for deliveries.

La mayor parte del acuerdo se destinará a devolver fondos a más de 260.000 trabajadores a quienes DoorDash les pagó menos de lo debido, no les pagó en absoluto o les pagó con retraso por las entregas, según el Ayuntamiento.

The company will also pay the city approximately 16 million dollars in civil penalties and other costs.

La empresa también abonará aproximadamente 16 millones de dólares en multas civiles y otros costos a la ciudad.

"When a worker has earned a wage, they are entitled to be paid that wagenot the next day, not after filing a lawsuit, but promptly and in full," Mamdani stated in a press release.

Cuando un trabajador se ha ganado un salario, es acreedor a que se le abone dicho salario, no al día siguiente, no tras interponer una demanda, sino de manera puntual y en su totalidad”, declaró Mamdani en un comunicado.

"DoorDash underpaid more than 260,000 workers, and today we are recovering that money."

DoorDash remuneró por debajo de lo que correspondía a más de 260.000 trabajadores, y hoy estamos recuperando ese dinero”.

DoorDash maintained that most of the payment errors were due to "technical failures or occurred in complicated situations", such as deliveries that went beyond the city limits, involved multiple pickup or drop-off points, or else included deliveries that were cancelled or completed only partially.

DoorDash sostuvo que gran parte de los errores en el pago obedecieron afallos técnicos u ocurrieron en situaciones complicadas”, tales como entregas que excedieron los límites de la ciudad, contaron con múltiples puntos de recogida o entrega, o bien incluyeron entregas que fueron canceladas o completadas de manera parcial.

Last year, the company agreed to pay nearly 17 million dollars to settle allegations that it had unfairly used customers' tips to subsidize the wages of its delivery workers in New York, instead of allowing drivers to keep the tips on top of their guaranteed pay.

El año pasado, la empresa acordó pagar casi 17 millones de dólares para resolver las acusaciones de que se había valido injustamente de las propinas de los clientes a fin de subsidiar los salarios de sus repartidores en Nueva York, en lugar de permitir que los conductores conservaran las propinas además de su pago garantizado.
