SAN FRANCISCO — On-demand grocery delivery service Instacart has reached a $4.625 million nationwide settlement to resolve claims that it misclassified its personal shoppers as independent contractors and failed to reimburse them for work expenses or pay them minimum wage.
The proposed class action settlement affects more than 31,000 Instacart shoppers across the country. It would not change their employment status or guarantee that workers would be paid minimum wage, but would give personal shoppers more rights if the company tries to kick them off the Instacart app.
