The following describes a pending government action that has been formally brought by a government agency but has not yet been resolved. We are providing a summary of the governments allegations, which have not yet been proven.
On 3/17/2021, San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin and Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced a jointly filed a worker protection action against Handy, suing the company for unlawfully misclassifying its workers as independent contractors when, in fact, these workers are employees performing the very cleaning and handyman services that Handy sells its customers. Misclassifying workers as independent contractors instead of employees leaves them without crucial workplace protections such as the right to minimum wage; access to paid sick leave; disability insurance; and unemployment insurance. The lawsuit was filed in San Francisco Superior Court and seeks restitution for Handy workers throughout California; a permanent halt to the ongoing illegal misclassification; and civil penalties.
