Lyft (New York driver pay)
Defendant: Lyft
Lyft has agreed to a $38 million settlement to resolve claims that the company illegally deducted sales tax and fees from New York drivers’ pay. If you used the Lyft Driver app in New York to provide rides between Oct. 11, 2015, and July 31, 2017, and money was withheld for sales tax and Black Car Fund fees, you may be eligible for a payment. The settlement also provides sick leave, a minimum wage for drives outside NYC, up to one hour of paid training, hiring notices and earnings statements, and chat support for current Lyft drivers (as of Feb. 29, 2024). (Affected drivers will receive notices beginning March 7, 2024.)
