Case Summary:This settlement resolves two cases brought against Uber Technologies, Inc. claiming that drivers should be classified as employees rather than independent contractors. The complaints alleged that Uber violated Massachusetts and California labor laws in classifying the drivers as independent contractors, that they failed to properly reimburse drivers for expenses and failed to pass along to them the entire portion of fares intended as tips.

Eligibility:You may be eligible if you are a current or former driver using the Uber driver app in Massachusetts or California between August 16, 2009 and February 28, 2019, and you are not bound by Uber’s arbitration clause (either because you opted out of the arbitration provision or because Uber has no record of your acceptance of the agreement).
Typical Settlement Amount:Final amounts depend on the number of valid claims received and the number of miles driven while “on trip” (carrying a passenger or item) during the class period. With a 50% claims rate, the average settlement amount is expected to be $2,206. With a 100% claims rate, amounts are expected to vary between $180 and $18,000.
