The largest settlement involves $24.75 million for California Grubhub drivers who were allegedly misclassified as independent contractors rather than employees, with individual payouts varying based on factors like hours worked and earnings. A separate $5 million settlement addresses claims that Grubhub improperly charged customers delivery fees, offering payments up to $10 per eligible customer. These settlements stem from allegations that Grubhub violated labor laws regarding driver classification and engaged in deceptive practices around fee disclosures.
