$24.75M Grubhub Driver California Independent Contractor Misclassification Class Action Settlement
Grubhub Holdings has agreed to pay $24.75 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging the company misclassified California delivery drivers as independent contractors instead of employees, denying them wages and benefits.
The case, Lawson et al. v. Grubhub Holdings Inc. et al. (Case No. 15-cv-05128 JSC), was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. If you completed at least one delivery via Grubhub in California between December 3, 2014, and March 13, 2026, you may be eligible for a minimum payment of $25, with higher amounts based on miles driven.
