Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating whether Whole Foods Market misclassified same-day grocery delivery drivers as independent contractors while exercising substantial control over their work.
What Workers Report
Workers report:
- Delivering groceries for Whole Foods Market.
- Following company-established delivery windows.
- Using personal vehicles for deliveries.
- Paying for fuel, maintenance, insurance, and vehicle expenses.
- Having deliveries monitored through mobile applications.
- Being evaluated based on delivery performance and customer ratings.
- Working extended hours without overtime compensation.
Why Workers Should Be Concerned
Drivers may have been classified as independent contractors despite performing work under detailed company requirements. Workers who bear substantial business expenses while following company-directed delivery procedures may have been denied wages and protections guaranteed by law.
Potential Claims May Include
- Worker misclassification
- Failure to pay minimum wages
- Failure to pay overtime
- Failure to reimburse business expenses
- Wage theft
