Lyft agreed to pay $272.5 million to settle a lawsuit accusing it of misclassifying California drivers as independent contractors instead of employees, denying them benefits like minimum wage and overtime. The lawsuit, filed in 2020 by the California Labor Commissioner’s Office, covered violations from 2016 to 2020, before Proposition 22 allowed gig workers to remain contractors.
