Home care aides in New York’s CDPAP program have filed a federal class action alleging $90 million in unpaid wages, claiming they were paid for only 13 hours of 24-hour shifts.

In January 2025, the New York Attorney General secured $1.13 million in restitution for about 250 immigrant cleaning workers at Rikers Island who suffered wage theft, forced kickbacks and denial of paid sick leave.

In December 2024, the delivery platform Drizly (formerly part of Uber) was ordered to pay $4 million in unpaid tips to more than 8,300 delivery drivers in New York. Customers thought they were tipping drivers, but the money was kept by liquor store owners.
