SAN DIEGO—More than $46 million that grocery delivery company Instacart agreed to pay as part of a settlement with the city of San Diego is ready to be distributed, the San Diego City Attorney’s Office said May 11.

The settlement stems from a lawsuit the city filed in 2019, which alleged Instacart improperly classified workers as independent contractors. The city said the alleged misclassification deprived workers of protections and compensation they would have received as employees, such as overtime pay, paid breaks, and reimbursement for expenses including gas mileage and cellphone data.
