New York Attorney General Letitia James announced a settlement with online food delivery platform DoorDash for “routinely rejecting delivery worker applicants with criminal histories without fair assessment, in violation of state human rights and corrections laws and the New York City Fair Chance Act.” DoorDash has agreed to reevaluate the hiring determinations for applicants rejected because of their criminal history, revise its hiring policies and training to ensure application reviewers are making fair and individualized decisions, and update notices provided to applicants informing them of their rights under the Fair Chance Act. DoorDash will also pay a $75,000 penalty, which will be distributed to qualifying applicants who were rejected, the AG announced.
