Attorney General Brian L. Schwalb announced that Zinoff & Company, LLC (doing business as “DeliverThat”), will pay $100,000 to impacted workers and the District for engaging in an illegal misclassification scheme through which it denied its delivery workers the wages and benefits they are legally entitled to by misclassifying them as independent contractors rather than employees, in violation of DC’s Minimum Wage Revision Act, Wage Payment and Collection Law, and Sick and Safe Leave Act.

“DC residents rely on the convenience and reliability of food delivery services, and that is why it is critical that we protect the workers who are the backbone of this industry—delivery drivers. District businesses cannot cut corners and cheat their workers by misclassifying them as independent contractors. Today’s settlement holds DeliverThat accountable, puts wages back in the pockets of DeliverThat’s drivers and ensures a level playing field for competitors who play by the rules.” – AG Schwalb
