The City Attorney's Office and Qwick, an Arizona-based staffing platform, agreed to settle a lawsuit from last summer; workers in the state will get $1.85 million
The San Francisco city attorney has reached a multimillion-dollar settlement with a hospitality-staffing startup accused of illegally misclassified California workers and denied them guaranteed wages, benefits and other protections.
The proposed final judgment and injunction were submitted Wednesday for approval from the San Francisco Superior Court. If approved, it would be the first state injunction requiring a gig-working company to reclassify thousands of workers, the City Attorney’s Office said. "We believe in the gig economy's potential to offer flexible and meaningful opportunities and it is crucial too ensure our freelancers receive the benefits and protections they deserve," Barbeau added.
