SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle-based pizza chain Zeeks will pay delivery drivers about $409,000 after allegedly failing to disclose how much of its delivery charge was paid to drivers. The Seattle Times reports the settlement was announced Wednesday. In 2019, the company agreed to pay about $285,000 to 257 drivers over the same issue. Service charges are common at Seattle restaurants with some going to employees in lieu of tips and others kept by the employer. The charges are allowed, but companies are required to disclose on receipts what percentage of the charge is paid to employees. Zeeks, its attorneys and an attorney representing the driver in that case didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
