Court Upholds NYC's Minimum Wage Law for App-Based Delivery Workers

Uber, DoorDash, and Grubhub's Challenge Rejected; Companies to Pay Delivery Workers $17.96 an Hour, Rising to $20 in 2025

New York City's minimum wage law for app-based delivery workers has been upheld by a state appeals court, rejecting challenges by Uber, DoorDash, and Grubhub.
The law mandates companies to pay delivery workers $17.96 an hour, which will rise to nearly $20 in April 2025.
Companies can choose to pay workers hourly or per delivery, based on the hours workers log into the app.
The companies claim the law will force them to shrink service areas, impacting customers and restaurants.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams hailed the decision as a major victory for delivery workers.
