The FTC alleged that Amazon reduced its own contribution to driver pay after promising drivers they would receive all customer tips, and failed to make the change clear.

Case ID: amazon-flex-tips-2021

What the record establishes

Amazon paid $61,710,583 under the final settlement; the FTC distributed the money to eligible drivers. Because it was restitution rather than a civil penalty, it is excluded from penalty totals.
