California delivery drivers for Shipt, DashLink, Roadie and other companies may be owed unpaid benefits
California delivery drivers for apps like Shipt and DoorDash may have been misclassified as independent contractors and are potentially owed unpaid benefits.Summary
California delivery drivers working for companies like Target Shipt, DoorDash DashLink, and Roadie may be entitled to employee benefits if they complete structured, multi-stop routes. Despite being classified as independent contractors under Proposition 22, California law may consider this type of long-distance, route-based work as employment, entitling drivers to overtime pay, meal and rest breaks, expense reimbursement, and other protections. The lawsuit focuses on drivers assigned 12 or more packages over routes exceeding 50 miles, alleging misclassification and seeking recovery of unpaid wages, mileage, and benefits. Drivers who believe they have been misclassified are encouraged to fill out a form for a free case evaluation to potentially join a class action lawsuit.
