OLS alleged that Amazon Flex failed to provide a deactivated worker with a timely notice of deactivation, notice of the records or evidence the company relied upon, or a written statement certified by an individual at the network company with authority to reinstate the app-based worker, as required by the App-Based Worker Deactivation Rights Ordinance.
To informally resolve the complaint, Amazon Flex agreed to ensure the worker received a process that complies with the Ordinance and to pay the worker a total of $1,278.16, which includes $639.08 in civil penalties and $639.08 in fines.
