Attorney General Andrea Campbell announced that her office has reached a settlement with online grocery-delivery company Weee, resolving allegations that it violated Massachusetts employment laws pertaining to employee classification and earned sick time. As part of the settlement, Weee has agreed to pay over $865,000 in citations, including restitution for over 160 impacted workers and penalties.

“When employers illegally misclassify workers and prevent them from accessing crucial employee protections, such as the right to earn and use sick time to care for themselves and their families, vulnerable workers are unfairly harmed and exploited,” said Campbell. “My office will continue to enforce our laws to protect and empower workers, reminding employers that Massachusetts is serious about protecting workers’ rights.”
