At A Glance

This Alert Affects:
Anyone who worked for Instacart for more than 40 hours in any week during the past two years, was classified as an independent contractor, and lived in New York, Illinois, Washington, Massachusetts or Oregon at the time.
What’s Going On?
Attorneys working with ClassAction.org have reason to believe Instacart may have misclassified its full-service shoppers as independent contractors, therefore depriving them of certain employment benefits such as minimum and overtime wages. The attorneys are now gathering shoppers to take legal action against Instacart.
What Am I Signing Up For, Exactly?
You’re signing up for what’s known as mass arbitration, which involves hundreds or thousands of consumers bringing individual arbitration claims against the same company at the same time and over the same issue. This is different from class action litigation and takes place outside of court.
How Much Could I Get?
While there are no guarantees, it’s possible you could recover money for your unpaid wages with a successful claim.
