Certain current and former California couriers who delivered to customers using the Postmates app could be eligible to benefit from a $32 million class action settlement claims over delivery drivers worker misclassification.

Included in the Class are all individuals who entered into an agreement with Postmates to use the Postmates platform as independent contractor delivery drivers to offer delivery services to customers and used the platform as an independent contractor courier to accept or complete at least one delivery in California between June 3, 2017, and Jan. 1, 2021.

A class action lawsuit had claimed Postmates improperly classified certain California Postmates couriers as independent workers in violation of state labor laws.

Postmates couriers deliver goods such as food from restaurants, groceries, and alcohol to consumers using the Postmates app. The service is available in cities throughout the United States.

The company denies the allegations put forth in the class action lawsuit.

California Postmates Couriers Settlement Benefits

After attorneys’ fees and other expenses are deducted, Class Members who file a valid claim form will receive a share of the settlement fund.

Payments will be calculated based on the estimated number of miles the Postmates courier drove while completing deliveries through the Postmates app.

The minimum amount a Class Member will receive is $10.

Those who receive a payment of $600 or more will have that payment reported to the government using Internal Revenue Service Form 1099. The Class Member is solely responsible for paying taxes, interest, and penalties on the settlement payments they receive.

In order to file a claim, Class Members will need the Claimant ID and Control Number sent to them via mail or email. Those who do not have this information should contact the settlement administrator at info@postmatescaliforniasettlement.com.

The final approval hearing in the California Postmates delivery drivers settlement will take place Nov. 3, 2021.

The deadline to opt out of, dispute, or object to the settlement is Nov. 2, 2021.

The deadline to file a claim in the delivery drivers settlement is also Nov. 2, 2021.
